Well, we're rounding third in our quest to step aboard and cut the lines.
Minor details remain to be dealt with, but one which had bedeviled us until
today is now resolved.

That's the name of our boat. There's more background than you'll want to
hear, but the challenge we've had is to come up with something which was
meaningful to both of us, and also to be unique. For reasons which are not
germane to this group, we've settled on the name (long time followers -
err... sufferers - know it took a long time to settle on a boat!):

The Flying Pig

We already have shirts with one of those, which looks like the color one
shown in www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery, and click on the Logo folder, but
think that might be a bit difficult to render in a logo form, such as would
be embroidered, or put on stationery or "business" cards, and the like. We
have found some other instances of flying pigs, and none of them
particularly appeal to us (shown in the same folder).

Submission of entries for our logo are encouraged by dropping a line to
flyingpig at justpickone dot org. The winner (up to a couple) gets a week's
cruise on the boat, wherever we are at the time they choose to take it,
following commissioning expected post 2004 hurricane season. Cruising
grounds will be throughout the Caribbean through November 2005, and
concentration in the Virgins for the following 7-8 months. Redemption of
the prize authorized until November 2006. Transportation to cruising site
not included :{)) We'll post the other entries as received, and notify the
winner, publicly if desired.

Skip and Lydia, close enough to taste it...

"And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear
night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are
quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the
general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the
surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient
as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one
that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly
appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin

Hi Skip, there is a manufacturer of entertainment lighting consoles called
Flying Pig Systems. Their logo is on their website at www.flyingpig.com
Have a look and see what you think. Simple, whimsical and easy to
reproduce.

Good choice, Skip!

Our family blazon
(at least as portrayed years ago by one of those
fake/fun heraldry outfits that provide the shield and the listing of
all the folks with the same name - not many world wide, in our case)
...is three boars, gules, passant
on an ermine ground or as we used to say:
" we will be nobility when pigs can fly." :-)
