My Klepper I don't name my vehicles and kayaks, but sometimes they name themselves. For instance, my last kayaking van, with over 200,000 miles, was named "Smoky Joe" for obvious reasons. It had replaced another old junker, "The Old Gray Mare." I have a kayak I've called "Firecracker" because it's bright red and was bought on the fourth of July weekend, but somehow the name has never really stuck. Maybe it needs a few more years and more character. -- Wes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Boyd's Kayak Place http://www2.dmci.net/wesboyd/kayak.htm Kayaks for Big Guys (And Gals) | Trip Reports | Places To Go | Boats & Gear --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
