Gunnar, a common Scandinavian name.


Indeed.

The only Gunnar I have ever met was an old Swede who ran Gunnar's
Marine Service. Bought a replacement trailer winch line from him.

"How long would that be", he asks. "Fifteen feet", says I.

"You want the end spliced?". I said OK.

About 3 seconds (at least it seemed that fast) I had the the nicest
splice around that metal eyelet!

Funny thing about Gunnar -- he didn't own a boat. Said he only got on
the water once or twice a year -- when he couldn't fix the customer's
outboard problem using his test tank.

Retired a couple of years ago and his kids shut the business.
