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. L8R 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 |

Good choice, Skip!

Did I miss something here? Did you close the deal on the Morgan? If
so, congratulations are surely in order. Let's hopewe cross wakes sometime. Indeed. However, we're still looking for insurance, which is required with the financing. Assuming all the places we're looking aren't sitting on their hands (anyone from Golden looking on? It's been well over a week - even though I know your computers have been troubled lately...), we trust that we'll have that in short order. Likewise the survey report, which should be voluminous. I've got a head start on our counter based on what I already know, but want the rest of the story, so to speak. All goes well, we'll turn the key on Monday morning March 1. Thanks for asking. A full report will follow the conclusion, whatever it turns out to be. L8R Skip and Lydia, with many more choices on the gallery in the last couple of hours... |

... When's the deadline? Colour, b&w lineart or both? Size/scale? We're not going to splash the boat before November (after we immediately take it around to the west FL coast due to the extreme price differential) at the earliest, due to the hurricane bit and our need to get out of town, so to speak. So, let's say August 1. As to size, digital would be good, as that will convert to scale as needed. We're thinking about some pretty fancy ones for us, and some simpler, maybe silk-screened ones, for guests. Suitable for embroidery AND stickers/business cards, etc.? Well, color is nice - the folks we have in mind do that sort of embroidery - but it has to be relatively simple. Some of the designs which I put up after the original post would fit that description - I'm leaning toward the one with the little bit of red in the wing(s), side view, because it would be pretty easy to embroider, but I'm not really thrilled with the pig itself. I'm spoiled by the stormpigs which were the original from which the shirt designs were taken... Anyway, line art would probably be the easiest to reproduce. Background on this is that we go to a pig roast every Labor Day, hosted by, among others, some pilots. T-shirts are given to participants, and these were one year's efforts of one of the wives, *way* too much to do again, so the rest have been either tie-dye or silkscreen designs... Is this going on a cruising spinnaker? Good luck cruising the eastern Med and the Red Sea, if it is! No, just on our caps and shirts and the bow, and maybe the stern.

When we bought our boat its name was INCORRIGIBLE which Bob hated. The first boat we chartered was WHISPER, and I thought that was a good name, but when I looked it up, there were 50 some WHISPERs. We also wanted something a bit unique. We considered a large number of names, including REAL QUIET who had just won the Kentucky Derby. I looked all of them up for uniqueness. There were no Real Quiets in the database although there is a small boat here in this marina with that name, but we finally decided on my first name. There are 14 other boats with ROSALIE in their names (including a fishing boat named ST. ROSALIE, and a freight barge named ROSALIE 106B), but none that are ROSALIEANN. As for logos - before you use one, you'd usually have to get permission. http://www.flyingpigsoftware.com/showwinner.html has the designs for a Flying Pig logo contest. (I don't like any of these) The Flying Pig Systems one looks like it has an attitude. http://flyingpig.pigpen.com/ is a site for people who collect pigs and their logo is a bit more cherubic There's a carved balsa flying pig on the order of the Flying Pig System one http://www.natashascafe.com/html/pig.html which could perhaps serve as a figurehead. ****My favorite is http://www.arcfan.demon.co.uk/sf/flying.htm the Flying Pig Bookshop in the UK which has a nice silhouette logo A Japanese company http://www.flying-pig.co.uk/ apparently makes 'executive toys to model' and has a moving model of a flying pig. http://www.flyingpig.nl/alt1024/theFlyingPig1024.htm is a backpackers hostel in Holland but their logo doesn't seem particularly useful. http://www.flyingpigmarathon.com/ has a logo for the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati There's a logo on the Flying Pig home page of a couple in the UK http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/flying.pigs/intro.html There's also Flying Pig Shopping, Flying Pig Productions (selling flying pigs - apparently people collect them), Flying Pig Eyewear, The Flying Pigs QRP Club, the Flying Pig Brewing Company (without a web page), a Flying Pig singing group that has put out a CD, a UK Cambridge football (soccer) club named Flying Pigs, and Flying Pig Precinct in NSW which is a gift shop. grandma Rosalie S/V RosalieAnn, Leonardtown, MD CSY 44 WO #156 http://home.mindspring.com/~gmbeasley/id2.html |

When we bought our boat its name was INCORRIGIBLE which Bob hated. The first boat we chartered was WHISPER, and I thought that was a good name, but when I looked it up, there were 50 some WHISPERs. We also wanted something a bit unique. We considered a large number of names, including REAL QUIET who had just won the Kentucky Derby. I looked all of them up for uniqueness. There were no Real Quiets in the database although there is a small boat here in this marina with that name, but we finally decided on my first name. There are 14 other boats with ROSALIE in their names (including a fishing boat named ST. ROSALIE, and a freight barge named ROSALIE 106B), but none that are ROSALIEANN. As for logos - before you use one, you'd usually have to get permission. http://www.flyingpigsoftware.com/showwinner.html has the designs for a Flying Pig logo contest. (I don't like any of these) The Flying Pig Systems one looks like it has an attitude. http://flyingpig.pigpen.com/ is a site for people who collect pigs and their logo is a bit more cherubic There's a carved balsa flying pig on the order of the Flying Pig System one http://www.natashascafe.com/html/pig.html which could perhaps serve as a figurehead. ****My favorite is http://www.arcfan.demon.co.uk/sf/flying.htm the Flying Pig Bookshop in the UK which has a nice silhouette logo A Japanese company http://www.flying-pig.co.uk/ apparently makes 'executive toys to model' and has a moving model of a flying pig. http://www.flyingpig.nl/alt1024/theFlyingPig1024.htm is a backpackers hostel in Holland but their logo doesn't seem particularly useful. http://www.flyingpigmarathon.com/ has a logo for the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati There's a logo on the Flying Pig home page of a couple in the UK http://users.argonet.co.uk/users/flying.pigs/intro.html There's also Flying Pig Shopping, Flying Pig Productions (selling flying pigs - apparently people collect them), Flying Pig Eyewear, The Flying Pigs QRP Club, the Flying Pig Brewing Company (without a web page), a Flying Pig singing group that has put out a CD, a UK Cambridge football (soccer) club named Flying Pigs, and Flying Pig Precinct in NSW which is a gift shop. grandma Rosalie S/V RosalieAnn, Leonardtown, MD CSY 44 WO #156 http://home.mindspring.com/~gmbeasley/id2.html |

Contest update...
My apologies for taking so long (three weeks!) to get back to this, but we've been a bit busy. The first is that we declined the boat we'd thought we'd be applying the logo to; more can be seen as to why at http://tinyurl.com/2udky - it's enough to say that it was a good deal that we did (decline). Some other sucker apparently didn't see this information, as it's showing pending again - unless the owner changed his stripes, which is highly unlikely, as those following this saga know about him from prior posts on the subject. The second is that in that time, we've contracted for, surveyed and sea trialed, and expect to close on in a week from today, another Morgan 46, this time a cutter rigged sloop. This can be seen in the Tehemana directory of the gallery, should you be interested to see where the logo will land. However, the real reason for this update is to say that the entries I've received to date are now posted at www.justpickone.org/skip/gallery, in the LOGO directory. As we've selected our boat, the contest still stands; the original information is left below. Those who have submitted an entry will be getting a note from me later today. Y'all are encouraged to review the entries, and come with some more. Ones without something sounding like a name attached are ones I put up initially; the rest will be familiar to the entrants! L8R Skip and Lydia -- "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.

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.

Tell ya what skip.
If you come over and paint my house, I'll design you a Logo. If you do a good job, I'll let everyone know. If I do a good job, you pay me $800.00. Whatdyasay? Skip Gundlach wrote: Contest update...

I say I'm confused :{)) (Of course, some figure that's a perpetual state with me, but I digress....) Was I offering painting services, somehow? If so, I apologize. First, you'd not want my services as I detest painting. Second, my right arm won't be very productive (even worse than currently) for many months. A left-handed paint job wouldn't be very good. Oh. Wait. You were only going to promote my services. Since I don't want to be in that business, I'll pass. I *thought* I was offering a week's captained cruise in the Caribbean in a 46 foot sailboat. Most places, that's worth a couple grand. In a sailing group (not a design group) that seemed like an equitable trade, should someone actually exert some effort on original design (vs parrotting something which might be attractive to us). Somehow my painting your house and paying you $800 for promotional services in the house painting field doesn't compute in a boating group. But then, I'm confused, not necessarily wise... For those who wonder what this is all about, having taken place some time ago, I'll be glad to mail you the particulars of the contest.
