Choosing a president

"I vote Passionata "

 

( Passionata is the name of that fishing boat)

A happy man

No more words are needed...

Running gag

See my posts from august, 8th and 22th,

and you'll understand the title...

 

Venetian dream

 

Saint-pierre / Saint Peter (last)

After the mass , the statue of Saint Pierre will be put on a "pointu ".

Then , all the boats will sail as  a parade out of the harbour.

Flowers will be sent on the waves,

as a tribute to the lost ones .

During the mass , the "pointus" are waiting in the harbour.

This post is dedicated to my beloved grand-father , 

who was a fisherman.

 

Saint-Pierre / Saint Peter (3)

Every year , the boat of the poorest fisherman is sentenced:

The "pointu" will be burned at the end of the day.

Then , each of the fishermen of the harbour will give some money,

and all together , they'll buy a new boat for the man ,

so that he can go on earning his living in the best conditions.

 

Saint-Pierre / Saint Peter (2)

To decorate the "pointus"( as we call here the fishing small boats ) 

is an other part of the tradition.
