All right so everyone give up the reason for their posting name. Mine came
from '97 sailing on S/V Alvei a schooner bark. We were anchored in Papeete
next to Carmac V or was it VI a huge feadship type of yacht. Alvei had just
transited in stages from Porto, Portugal and looked really bad. Plus we had
the biggestdeck in the harbor so we hosted all the crusing fleet parties.
Word got around that the ritzy set on Carmac thought we were trash. So of
course we ended the next party (always by 10PM) by lining up an doing the
YMCA song complete with hand motions and chorus line kicks and ended by
turning around and u hh hhh h h h imitating La Luna for a brief eclipsing
moment. Next morning they were gone. After that if we pulled in somewhere
and they were there . .off they would go and if they pulled in and saw us
they would turn round and go somwhere else. So we adopted the title of
schoonertrash, the whole crew. So then I became sloop trash, cutter trash,
freighter trash (both steam and diesel). My other posting name you will see
in various spots on the net is the name of the new boat. The original
Centaur was named Look Far and I wanted my own name but without a change so
I translated to Norwegian. Se Fjern means to look far but with a bit of
mist or fog so things aren't clear. Well that was eventually true
especially when I started following some one else's schedule. The good part
was in acquiring a larger boat, but I think it wouldn't have been large
enough, which willl allow me to carry some dive gear and so forth. But not
too large so it can be handled by one person easily. The name is Se Lange
which still means Look Far but with clarity. Now that fits. One who sees
all by going and sees his way clearly is the Old Norse connotation. One
thing is clear. . .there is plenty of room!

Ok . . . . .. your turn

Simple Simon - Over the hill and never had a woman.

I'm sure SS would argue that the hill he's over is the Mound of
Venus.

Subscribers to this group give themselves flattering and
clever names. However, these names are often diametrically
opposed to actual fact.

As a public service I shall assign some more realistic names.

The only change needed on your name, would be to remove Simon, and keep it
"simple", as more befitting your mental capacity.

Shen .... short for Shenandoah. A long story, which involves a bar in Martinez,
Ca.(the Yacht Club) now renamed, and an attempt to come up with a nickname
which could easily be pronounced, drunk or sober.

I haven't given myself any name. That was my parent's job.
Your name is Neal. Instead, you pretend to be Simple. Well,
I guess that's no pretense.
