I named my strip-built touring kayak the "Haqjauk" ( inuit for "arrow")
after the arrow pattern in the strips that form the deck. My
strip-built canoe is the "Five Bucks" because of the kingfisher on the
bow ( the Canadian 5 dollar bill used to have a kingfisher on the back
until they changed it recently). My plastic canoe is "Scar Face"
because of a large scar along the side, a reminder of a small mishap in
a parking lot just before a run....

Ask a silly question, I have the silly answers.... )

Okay, this is a silly question, but has anybody here ever "named" a
kayak before? I think it is fun to give certain things a name, like
cars and boats and stuff. My kayak doesn't yet have a name as I have
never thought of something good enough for it, but I'm thinking of
it.... Hehe.

(And I think I'm gonna have to start calling my SUV "MooCar" 'cause I
put cow-spotted foam [which I got at the craft store] around the roof
rack rails to keep my kayak from slipping when it is on them! It's a
pretty funny sight! My kayak is not cow-spotted, however, so I cannot
call it "MooYak".)
