removing old names?
You'll need two bottles of good liquor, a virgin and 2 ceremonies. First the
removal of the old name and all references to it on the vessel, equipment and remove the old logs. Have a denaming ceremony and announce to Neptune the decommissioning of the old name. Use your imagination and do up some nice words. Place the new name on the boat..... then have a christening with the new name... make certain a virgin christens the vessel. [ I borrowed my friend's 4 year old daughter to swing the bottle to make sure] Drink the spare bottle in celebration on your first trip out with the renamed vessel.

The new documentation papers | say I need to get the name and hailing port changed "before operating the | boat" which will be in a couple of weeks when I bring her up from Ensenada | across the border into the US. | | By the way, in case you were wondering.
