Re: [Paddlewise] What did you name your boat?

My first boat, a Chesapeake 17, is 'Taanisartuq' (Inuit: "He is
dancing")

I since subscribed to the notion that a kayak should not be named, as it
should feel like an extension of one's body.  (And I'm not one to name
my body parts)
So, the new Guillemot, which really feels like an extension of my body,
has no name. If pressed, I guess I'd call it "My Big Toe" or something
to that effect.
