"To Tie A Knot" !!!

Raise a glass to 'Tie A Knot'....may Poseidon -Neptune and Aeolus, God's of the sea and wind guide her and protect her and all that travel aboard her!

Preparation is  key 1

Positioning is key 2

Team Work is Key 3

Teamwork pays off

The Celebration

The offerings to the God's, champagne and a green branch to bring her safely ashore

More Celebration

Celebration cupcakes from Sydney & Cole with help from mom Chris


Our good friends Sue & John Mackie and our son Kent celebrated the name change with us.  We  couldn't get all the graphics on  due to wind and time constraints, but the important work is done.  Our boat has her new name, chosen by us from a saying that has meant a lot to us over the years and we made our plea to Neptune.  We will finish the work tomorrow adding the knot and the hailing port.  Final pictures to follow.  
I performed the ceremony on the bow with the attendees reciting their lines and Jimmy Buffett playing in the background.  I happily shook the champagne bottle and sprayed it all over the bow  (Cleanup  tomorrow)! 
 Hopefully the God's of the seas and winds were entertained enough to guide and protect!
