M/V Michael T. Somales christening, part 1

I've selected about 30 photos from the June 20 christening of the M/V Michael T. Somales and the subsequent wedding of the boat's namesake and his fiance. I'll post them in several batches over the next couple of days.

First, a look at the boat itself. Be aware that this was a gray and rainy day. In a few pictures you might see some smudges on the left side where a couple of raindrops may have gotten on the inner part of a lens as I was changing them.

Now in black and white as an experiment.

Next: Signs and equipment on the boat.
