The Admiral and I were talking about boat names the other day and I came up with "Ponorka". Sounds good, eh?

(It's Czech for 'submarine'!)

The following only applies to the white M. The boat has very graceful lines, with a minimum of black trim, and can FLY when it wants to. So, think of a swan. OK, now lets include a reference to the ballasting method. Lastly, let's squeeze in a obtuse reference to our self-admitted lack of first rate, premiere. leading the pack, sailing performance. Throw in an adult beverage hint for good measure.
Snare Drums Please- WATERED DOWN. Add a graphic of a Martini glass with a white feather as a swizzle stick and you complete the picture.
Have fun.

My name is George Lee. Wifes name Doreen.

Can almost get DeLorean out of that, (or something similar) it is a nice car.

I am retired and this is the first boat I ever owned.

Wish I could say all that but I have a couple more years to go yet, my first boat though, not counting the canoe & raft.

The boat is paid for so I dont need any about being out of money.

Man, is that an understatement, You just haven't got started yet Albion, wait till you start dressing her up, she's going to cost more than your wife.
There's much truth to" Break Out Another Thousand"

At least you have the time available to enjoy your new boat!

Indeed. But we were thinking of new names for *our* boat, and my Admiral *is* Czech.

We like our Mac too, and named it: Holub, and we refer to it as The Holub Boat. (its our family name, which happens to mean pigeon in Czech). Its also fun having the family name on stuff within and on the boat.

My suggestion for your boat name is: The Lees or THE LEEs, or The Lee.

I just like the personalization approach. When we're out with our RV, I notice that RV folks always personalize with their names. And by the way, the MAC is referred to as a Waterbago by some.

Anyway, let us know what you eventually name her
