Oh Bugger, I lost out

Post by Mistral »

After having decided two years ago to call the boat "Mistral". now comes the time to put the decals on, after we had a look at all the mods on the boat today.

Guess what, the admiral says, I like "Indigo" and always liked that.
So what is the boat going to be called.......................... Indigo
:o :o :o :o :o :o

And I thought it was my boat, but now it is ours.
:) :) :) :)

Dirk

Edit...... A compromise has been reached. Indigo Blue. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Not a fair fight really was it?

How about combining both names together Mistral and Indigo: MISS INDY???

Not too bad for a Sunday night?

"Indigo Wind". Mistral is a type of wind, after all.

Just tell her it's too late. Legally you have recorded the name as Mistral (not to mention your forum name) and the law prohibits you from changing the name short of paying an enormous re-registration fee. With any luck she will never find out.

That might just work!

Oh hang on, let's be honest, we can't outsmart them. We have been trying for years!

Don't put the Name in letters on the boat, keep calling her (the boat) Mistral. Maybe your other half might forget the colourful name.

Lucky for me, wife hates boat, and all things related. (One 25 deg heel did it).

Advantage...husband (and his floating stag pad).

Just read this to the Admiral and sang here My vgra-xd (Sharonna)

Had a good laugh and then she commented that you must have a 'blue" M. :D :D :D

I think you need to upgrade. :)
