As most of you know, we are on this Great Loop journey with our long time dear friends Chris and Mary Kelleher. They are aboard their Kady Krogen Manatee trawler named "Cashelmara".
Chris and I recently retired on the very same day, but from two very different careers. Chris was a NYC firefighter for 32 years! In fact Chris rose to the distinguished position of Captain and became the Commanding Officer of one of the amazing FDNY Marine units. Chris spent his years serving the City of NY and its massive waterfront, and of course he was on the job during 9/11.
On the first day of our trip the fine crews and boats from the FDNY Maine division came out to escort Chris and give him an amazing salute and send off!
We were so very proud and fortunate to be part of it as we were surrounded by FDNY boats. Congats Chris and thank you for your service my friend! BRAVO ZULU brother!
Here is a very short video of some of the action, hope you enjoy!
