guests gather

 

Lympstone Fishery & Harbour Board Chairman Col. G F Wheeler informs the gathering of the
five year project to rebuild Compass Rose from a virtual hulk & declares the moment of historic
significance due to the re-establishment of a licensed fishing vessel based at Lympstone

 

 

the champagne awaits the hand of....

 

Mr D Litton who names the vessel in the traditional fashion

 

 

 

followed by the blessing

 

the splitting of the coconut and the flowing of the milk

 

the distribution of coconut and the throwing of petals with a wish for good fortune

 

and at nightfall, Compass Rose floats on the rising tide.

 

Thank you Jason, for organising a memorable Lympstone party. Good sailing & fishing.
