New Arrival!
 

Our boat just arrived this morning. As soon as I get the kids off to
school, I'm going down to help unload her.

Our cruising adventures are now beginning.

Congratulations Roger, very nice but you need to teach the kids to take
care of themselves, after all first things first.
Good Sailing
JR

Congratulations!

As they say in the islands, "Peace be the journey!"

Your boat's name was my nickname 25 years ago.

So I like it G Congratulations.

Interesting. We're planning to buy a new (used) boat this Summer and I
expressed the desire to name her with *my* childhood nickname; but my
wife and daughters said they were *not* interested in having a boat
called "Loup Garou" (the Cajun werewolf). When I offered my high school
nickname, "Generalissimo Franko" (I went to a military prep school; it
was inevitable.), they also decided to pass. We seem to be leaning
toward "Zombie Princess" and calling the dink "Grave Tender." Go
figure!

In our case, it had to be something from "Lord of the Rings". I am
enormously relieved that I got something that is also an English word
with other nice connotations accepted the naming committee.

I would have liked "Loup Garou" though.

Those darned naming committees can really be a pain, can't they? grin

LOTR offers so many possibilities; and, like you said, so many of them
could be pretty strange and/or obscure. I'd agree that y'all decided
wisely!

I do like "Zombie Princess" for us; it's a family joke. When the kids
were younger and asked me to tell 'em a story, I'd always start with,
"There were these flesh-eating zombies..." They'd scream, "NO! NO! A
story about a princess." So I'd say, "Once upon a time there was a
princess, who was a flesh-eating zombie!" It also works pretty well
because it'll be Zombie Princess of New Orleans.

Enjoy yourselves with your new boat!

Thanks for the invite but I think Canada will have to wait till next
summer. I'm going to be doing a lot of work on this boat. It's
basically sound and functional but the former owner was a world class
jury rigger.

I've discovered a downside to buying a freshwater boat. Although it's
very clean and with almost none of the corrosion us salties take for
granted, it is full of stuff that is going to blossom into rust within
days. The exhaust system is held up with strips of that perforated
metal strapping and there are steel screws everywhere. Not a problem
up in the lakes but I've got to track it all down and put in proper
stuff before it spends much time in the salt air.
