[Paddlewise] The naming of boats

	How many kayaks are named? I read recently that it was considered
inappropriate to give a kayak a name. The argument went along the lines that
a kayak should be used as an extension of the body, not something separate
providing a safe haven after the manner of a larger boat. Now I can think of
half a dozen good reasons to name a kayak and wondered what proportion of
kayakers did? So if anyone is interested and would like to reply direct or
on Paddlewise I'll give the results of a 'straw poll' next week!
