Do you need a cabin boy?

Are you called Roger?

"Bubbles".

or you could put one big oar on one side and a small oar on the other and call it Jeremy Beadle.

some old poem about getting old and purple!! - google it

[Mark C]

When I am an old woman,
I shall wear purple - -
With a red hat which doesn't go,
and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves and satin sandals,
And say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
and gobble up samples in shops
and press alarm bells
and run with my stick along public railings,
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick flowers in other people's gardens
and learn to spit!
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
and eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
or only bread and pickles for a week,
and hoard pens and pencils
and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
and pay our rent
and not swear in the street,
and set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner
and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised
when suddenly I am old,
And start to wear purple!

Got to be plain and simple "Unsinkable" then

I'm with some of the others about renaming (Never realised I was quite so superstitious); but if you really feel you have to, what about:

Myotte - as in "Would you like to see........"

Molly - as in "The unsinkable Molly Brown"

I say name the boat "Jordan" - looks good, and kinda envelops Petra, avoiding da voodoo!


Had a boat once that was named after my YD name - Seadeuce (say it quick)
