Oh i have enjoyed reading the *naming of the kayak-or not* posts! 
Those of you who have named your boats have done so most eloquently! 
I must out myself and my kayaking buddy, to say that we have named 
our kayaks, but not with great "depth of thought!". I only got my 
yellow dimension *thug* kayak this past summer, and it was a second 
hand boat...caused me all kinds of problems, but in hindsight I have 
learned a great deal from those problems, so I will learn more from 
this yellow sea kayak.....anyway, I began referring to this boat as 
the big banana, and it has stuck...massively.  everyone who knows of 
my passion with this boat calls it the "banana".  Once my boat got 
it's *original* moniker, my buddie's red kayak started yearning for a 
name and the "red chili pepper" was born and lives on.  Banana and 
chili pepper loooove to be side by side in all kinds of water even if 
our names aren't all that creative!
