News of the addition to our fleet has been received by enthusiasm by sailors (past, present and future) in the family, and all are planning on visiting as soon as their schedules permit to try "the boat" for themselves. So Jack and I have started the recommissioning work -- Jack's dealing with the brightwork, removing items such as the center thwart in preparation for sanding and varnishing, and I'm in charge of de-mildewing the rub rail and searching the internet for a diagram of the rigging for an 8ft Pilot dinghy.
I'm also responsible for gathering suggestions for names. So far only three people have responded:
Mary = Squirt
Jill = The little blue sailboat
David = either Mach Kami Aleat - It means 'don't reach too far or the boom is going to clock you on the head' or Kamial Chalma - Who was the turkish god of underwarter bolders and seaweed
Come on, blog lurkers, send your name suggestions!
Ringy Dingy (think Lily Tomlin)
