RE: [Paddlewise] Naming your boat

I have named mine with the name on the front of the bow - Even lauched
it with a bottle of Champagne. Since reading about how the Inuits
consider them an extension of oneself I will probably not name another
boat (if I every get one)

I immediately named my boat, without even thinking. I assumed everyone
did. 
 From my reading, the Aleut's believed their kayaks were separate
entities, 
though closely related to the owner.  But I have not yet run across
another 
kayak with a name on it.
