Yes, that will make her substantially more sea worthy. We spent a
couple of gnarly days going north in the gulf stream a few weeks ago.
You'll be right at home out there with a new name on the boat. Let
me suggest a couple:

"Holy sh*t"

"Sinking Sensation"

"Wok'n'roll"

"This End Up"

"Leaky Tiki"



Thanks but no thanks. Those names are stupid sounding. I've got it down
to between "Sensibility" or "Symbiosis". People who give a boat a joke
name end up being a joke themselves. I want my boat to have a respectful
name. I think either of these two names fit a Mac26X and show respect
too.

I just wrote a post that smacked down Bobsprit. Ever notice the stupid
sounding names he puts on his boats? Circus side show stuff. Stuff that
don't make a lick of sense. Stuff that if he had to say it on the VHF to
get pulled off when he ran aground that would embarrass him to death.
Well, maybe not him but somebody with a brain for sure would be
embarrassed all the way.

Cheers,
Ed Gordon
