So, got the boat last year. Got the engines working, electrical working good. going to be finishing up some cosmetic stuff this winter. still working slooowly on getting the kids and wife into boating. They love it in the slip. At sea, not so good. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) and this was in 1-3ft seas.
Anyway, the name of the boat is "Island Chaser" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I'm having some gelcoat work done and had the faded painted name buffed off. 3 year old want's to call it Barney or Pink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I'm throwing it out to the group for some ideas. It's a family boat, so, let's try and keep suggestions "G" rated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I thought of "Fish & Chips" with some tuna and poker chips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) post away with suggestions. |

Didn't I read somewhere that is was unlucky to change the name of a boat? If the kids get seasick, get the the wristbands that have the little button on the inside. Tell them they are magic wrist bands and they will NEVER get sick if they wear them. They work! Walter Kronkites boat was named "Assignment". So if anyone wanted to know where he was, they were told, "he is on assignment".
Cheers, Elliot |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) there is an extensive procedure to follow in renaming a boat. (see party!) |
