So the christening went off on 25 May for X-KISMET, now affectionately
named SEA CHANTEY. The usual suspects were rounded up for the event - we were honored that 'the doctor' was able to come up from South Carolina to take part. A prayer was given, the gods of the deep were
asked to strike the former name from the sea logs, all manner of the former name
was properly removed from the craft, care of the vessel and new crew was asked
for and King Neptune was appeased with countless libations and volumes of
outstand food.
Tamera did the honors of breaking a bottle of the finest champagne
money can buy (thanks to Joe & Moira) across the bow, asking for a blessing and all was right with the
world.
The next day – admittedly at a slower pace and with a lot
less energy – the process of lowering the waterline continued – crazy amounts
of stuff no one will ever use and for reasons I can’t imagine ever happening - stuff
just kept appearing on deck. I see our fuel consumption going from 2 gal/hr to 6gal/hr. Maybe while no one is looking I can get some of it back to the house before the movers show up.
Nice Cigar!
