[Paddlewise] What did you name your boat?

There was a thread a while back about what names we gave our boats.  At
the time I didn't post because my boat didn't have a name.  I either
called it "the Caribou" or "my Caribou."  I felt that anything that was
that much a part of my life deserved a name, but I didn't have one that
fit.  I still haven't named my Caribou, but I have come up with a name
for my new boat (due to be delivered soon!) that I am buying.  The new
boat is a Viviane from Kajak Sport of Finland.  As the boat is Finnish I
figured that the name should be as well.
    So I borrowed the last line from a beautiful post by Melissa.
(Don't worry Melissa, I am keeping the Caribou.  The Viviane is for
carrying loads and covering miles.)  My new bat will be named "Meri
Kutsuu"  which is Finnish for "The Sea Beckons."
    Now, if anyone could give me the Gaelic or Inuit phrase for "Little
Sister" I would have a name for my Caribou as well!  (Gaelic for my
heritage, Inuit for the design heritage of the Caribou.)

    Paddling along through fog so thick that only one's thoughts are
visible, your reverie is abruptly shattered by the ancient cry of a
great
blue heron as she lifts uncertainly from the brilliant blue of a
mussel-shell beach witnessed only by the brooding, wet spruce....your
passage home seems as much back through time as it does through space.
