Great, you finally made it out and had no problems.

Bayflite73 · « **Reply #7 on:** June 16, 2013, 08:33:17 PM »

Didn't get a chance unfortunately. :-(

Barb, yes, it was a very happy time on the water. I LOVE the new boat! It's perfect for us!

The only name that has come to me so far is "The Silver Arrow", but that's what they called the BMW race cars back in the really early days. Dunno. Something will feel right.

She purrs so quietly at idle Sarah even asked me if she was on at one point!

Thats great Josh. Bet that feels good.

It felt great to get out on the water again after such a busy, cold, and wrt spring!

Super cool! Nothing better than happy kids on a boat with dad at the helm. Congrats!

I concur. Congrats!

re. Name: How 'bout the Silver Hornet? Nah, wait a minute. That was the name of Inspector Clouseau's car. Nevermind ...

Ha! That's awesome! I suppose I'd be asking for trouble naming her after anything Inspector Clouseau touched!

Theoretically if you perform the naming ceremony correctly, and appease King Neptune? You shouldn't have any trouble ...

You need to have Barb do it. She is King Neptune's Daughter, and the Mistress of the deep.

Bayflite73 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 18, 2013, 05:55:31 PM »

Yep. Barb is the master. Too bad she's not going to be at Red Wing. Then again we won't be either. :-(

It's our ten year anniversary that weekend though so that's a good thing!

Good reason to meet up at Rathbun in 2014.

Is there any DNA evidence to back up this claim? If so it'd be very cool, kinda like the Davinci Code ...

In all seriousness. Not that anybody suggested it was, but the boat naming ceremony isn't something to be taken lightly. Least not round these parts anyway. Neptune is an angry & unforgiving god.
