Justin Blesses Arctracer

Joe's father, Justin, was a self-proclaimed healer and preacher. He put on this regalia and sprinkled water inside and outside our boat while he said prayers which he said would protect us and our boat from harm. He also rubbed Jerry's bad ankle while mumbling something, but Jerry hasn't noticed any change in his ankle. We gave him some white shirts.
