5 May 2023 Blessing of the Fleet

 Three members of the MBC met at Ma Bicyclette for a Blessing of the Fleet before the upcoming Danube Excursion.  G.T. Bishop suggested that fleet bicycles should touch both the waters of the St Lawrence and the Danube.

 

A.T.  Lane scoffed at the idea touching the waters of the St Lawrence and wanted to stop by The Flag Shop first and ask some questions about REV e banners. G.T and Frankie waited patiently outside contemplating more important spiritual matters.

Riding along the Lachine Canal on the way to the St Lawrence, they saw the now familiar sight of a REM train being tested.  It seemed to A.T. to be much less noisy than last time, he wondered what they had changed.

Once they got to the Victoria Bridge, there was some discussion between Mr Lane and Mr Bishop as to whether or not this was a good enough place to get some l'eau de St Laurent.

A.T. decided that this was as far as he would go, Mr Bishop and Frankie continued on the quest for the proper l'eau.

After A.T. Lane's departure they sought spiritual watery guidance from out National Symbol.  Something that has a long MBC tradition.

Properly inspired, they came upon the perfect spot for touching the magical l'eau.

   News that the Fleet was now properly blessed spread rapidly through the club.  Louis now felt secure and headed out on his journey to the Danube.
