Boat naming

On Sunday I was invited to a naming party for a boat some friends just bought. The boat was being renamed to make it easier to say over the radio, so a party to appease King Neptune was needed. As traditions go, the old name needed to be cast off with respect and the new one presented for approval. It was a nice day and the sun was out, so was the wind, but the boat was in a covered slip so it wasn't really hot. In any case, the name was changed, the Champagne was poured, the food drunk and all were happy.
