Re: [Paddlewise] The naming of boats

I can't keep myself from naming my boats.  Once, my fleet was large enough
to require each to have a name to specify which was which.  My friends even
knew their names.  Now my fleet isn't so large, but chritening each boat
with a name is in keeping with the maritime traditions.

My tandem sea kayak is named Marge.  We affectionately refer to her as large
Marge the barge.  I have an older solo flatwater canoe whose shiney gray
gelcoat has long since faded.  I called her Grace, but my wife always says
she is the color of Al Bundy's t-shirts so the boat sometimes is referred to
as Al.  The newest boat in my fleet is a fast flatwater canoe which I have
christened Addie.

I have also named all my children and vehicles.
