I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

You know the saying about the happiest days of a boat owner, right?  :P

Had a pretty happy day today, sun and light winds and only a few tasks to be completed. :P

Very cool!

I would name a sailboat Surprise, but only as a Patrick O'Brian fanboy.  :blush:

Although when I would go to Jane Austen-inspired balls dressed as a RN Captain, I would usually have myself announced as the Captain of the Indefatigable.  I dunno how well that would translate to Danish though.

Alternatively I used Terror, which would translate better, but make even less sense for a pleasure boat.  Although Terror had a much better connection to Canadian history...

It would be Utrættelig and kinda cool, but I'm not sure I have that confidence yet. :D

So I bought a boat and it needs a name. It's a 29 foot sailboat.

Currently I'm stuck on "Seaward" but it's only due to my lack of original thought and love of Arrested Development.

Call it "2020"

What could go wrong?
