You know what the first rule of sailing is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Last night, by kayak, I removed the old name from her transom:
 |
| Her old name: Nauta Priority, was, unfortunately, a fitting name for many years. |
 |
| But she has been a priority this past year, so I had to take a pic of the name half-removed. :) |
 |
| The letters peeled off easily. She was ready to be rid of them! |
 |
| With the old name removed, she is ready for her new name! |
New graphics will be applied tomorrow and covered until the Denaming and Renaming ceremonies have been conducted. Following those ceremonies...a celebration. She shall know that she is loved. The gods shall know that I will take care of her.
According to legend, each and every vessel is recorded in the Ledger of the Deep, and is known by Poseidon or Neptune.
The Denaming ceremony removes the name from this Ledger and the Renaming ceremony places the new name in the Ledger. For more information on this process, check out this site.
The ceremony will be officiated by Commodore Bob Pattison (Commodore of Four Seasons Yacht Club).
Some of my friends are asking me why I am having this ceremony. Lore has it that renaming a boat without taking the proper steps to inform and appease the gods is very bad luck. Some say this is a myth, others say it is sailor's wisdom. Which is true? Who cares! It is not worth the risk and it is the perfect time to celebrate more than a year of hard work to completely renovate a vessel in need of love and attention. It is the perfect time to celebrate her--the vessel that I love...the vessel that is home.
