Nice find, Wayne. I didn't even think of the documentation query.

It's very handy for searching out lobsta boat owners (and non-owners).

:-)


I thought "Pangea" was a unique name .... until I checked the documentation
data base.
There are seven or eight documented boats with that name.

Last time I checked though there was only one "Soul Source". That name
came about because I bought the Navigator shortly after my company received
a large, sole source contract .... meaning we had no competition. To
recognize the contract award, I just changed "sole" to "soul".

There are two on Chesapeake Bay. We saw one of them last month, can't
remember which it was.

The spelling is unique, for sure. Had you gone to a quality high school,
you would have known the word was spelled Pangaea. :}

It is actually spelled both ways. You will find numerous university web
sites hich have it listed as Pangaea.

You can also find web sites where they spell it Pangaea, and find the
maps they show have it listed as Pangea.

If you go to Dictionary.com, you will see most dictionaries say it can
be spelled either way.

My comment had very little to do with the spelling, s.f.b.

Sorry, I thought you said he spelled the word incorrectly. You did perk
my curiosity, what does SFB mean?

My comment was about his third-rate high school

I'm sure a cut and paster like you can find out what S.F.B. means.

I checked on that. Both spellings are acceptable, although to the purest
the two have slightly different meanings when translated from Greek.

BTW.... If and when the continents drift back together again, which some
scientist claim will happen, the new continent will be called, "Pangea
Ultima".

Actually, IIRC, "Pangaea" is simply the Greek spelling of the more
contemporary "Pangea".
