Renaming Ceremony For Short Vacation
Renaming a boat is, of course, not something to be done lightly. Since the beginning of time, sailors have sworn that there are unlucky ships and the unluckiest ships of all are those who have defied the gods and change their names. So, there is a way to change a name and not incur the wrath of those deities. You must purge its name from the Ledger of the Deep and appease the gods with champagne and call upon them to safely guide your vessel. Marc McCoy had some experience in this type of event so we ask he and Michele to come over from their January stay on Sanibel Island and conduct this ceremony.
