Things to Ponder:

Does Neptune punish re-named boats in the order they were re-named in?

Does boat insurance cost extra for boats with changed names?

If you change a boat name, then change it back again, is Neptune okay with that or is he twice as angry??

If your boat had it’s name changed in the past, should you make every effort to find out the original name and change it back?

If you remove the old name because you do not want a name on your boat, have you “changed the name”?

If you name an un-named boat, did you “change the name” by giving it a new name?

Does Neptune, God of the “SEA”, care if you change the name of a boat on a lake or river?

If not, when a re-named boat re-locates from freshwater to salt will Neptune become angered?

If a re-named boat re-locates from saltwater to fresh is the curse broken?

Almost 90% of all named boats have already been re-named and those other 10% of newer boats will be re-named in the future. Are they all cursed?

Is that The Corinth canal?

I've promised myself, when the kids are bigger, a proper sailing oddessy around Greece. Hopefully start off with some island trips to start with.

All being prepared for the World Championships in Guernsey this September.
Well the 115 EPAs went out this weekend and, TBH, looked bloody slow. When the Scandi boys come over with their Cats later this year, this mono class will look just silly against them. Poor show.

Too much talk of speed going on here, lets slow it down to a leisurely 5 kts.



Sporting a new mast arrangement with VHF aerial and stainless grab rails.

Sure, Port Pendennis Marina.

I keep it on a mooring off Fish Strand Quay (the car park in the middle of town) and was just alongside to use the hose!

I love these classic Sunseekers but most are getting really tatty. Yours looks great though! Where do you keep it?
