Mishaps and Memories

Mar. 20, 2007 - boat name

After much deliberation, we narrowed the boat name down to two possibles...

 

Ellony - a contraction of mine and SWMBOs middle names

Kolika - Hawaiian word meaning "from the Ocean"


 

We couldn't decide... a family vote was a draw... so we asked both our sets of parents... still a draw...

 

So we did the sensible thing... we put it to the vote of the sensible folk over on the yachty forum at ybw.com... and they voted in numbers!

 

At the time of writing, the voters were 15 to Ellony and 44 to Kolika....

 

So it looks like it'll be Kolika... pronounced with the emphasis on the Ko, eg Ko-Leeka

 

I can't do anything until the survey has been satisfactorily concluded, but once it has, then the first priority is SSR registration, name change and then a radio licence application....
