Well, I took Harry's advice and changed the font - I hate to admit it,
but he was right - in fact, all of you were right - weird font that
seemed like a good idea at the time.

So I spent the morning with Captain Joel Perry of Graphics Unlimited
in Pomfret Center, a noted graphic artist, all around good guy and a
Master Mariner who has restored some beautiful boats including a '50s
era Lyman, a genuine RI Oyster boat, a Penn Yann and an absoutely
gorgeous original 23' Grady White he rebuilt.

We went through a ton of iterations, different designs, changed fonts
until we were blue in the face - Joel put up with my picky behavior
and we finally settled on this one which is the semi-demi-hemi-sort
of-maybe-kind of final design with a few tweaks and modifications -
primarily color will stay the same, but the lightning bolt may be
changed to a sine curve - I'm worn out on it, but I like this - just a
couple of things I want to think about over the next couple of weeks.

Not a bad start - two days and about eight hours of work.


Two lightning bolts, top and bottom of name. And, bigger name, one
line all the way across.
