There was no question that we were going to name our Romanys. This is kind of personal but here goes. My boat is going to be named "ve-ilu finu." This is the first part of a Hebrew phrase from our Sabbath morning prayers, which states "ve-ilu finu maleh shirah kayam, uleshoneynu rina ke-hamon galav." Loosely translated, this means, "Would that our mouths were as filled with song as is the sea, and our tongues [carried words] as joyful as the waves." My wife has chosen to name her boat "Sea Otter," for two reasons. First, she likes the way they play in water, and that is how the kayak feels on a good day. Secondly, they happily devour crabs. My wife is a breast cancer survivor, and of course the zodiac sign for Cancer is -- crab.
