cricket's got a name! well, she's had a name for a while, but today she's got her name tatood on her beautifully curved hips! i will attempt to post a picture of her new lettering on my facebook before i fall asleep. it's nice to have our home port of grand marias, mn proudly displayed for all to see. hopefully cricket'll make it there someday!
we hear it's bad luck to change a boat's name, so to counter that "curse" we are hanging the sweet blessing of a gift up in cricket's cabin. it's a medalion of st. francis (patron saint of traveling) given to us as a bon voyage from rebecca s., and it looks lovely hanging over the salon setee (that'd be sailor talk for a dining room bench ; ) thanks rebecca!
also today we have cleaner water tanks, a bilge fresh and clean as a whistle, and new oil running thru cricket's veins.
another great time in annapolis. we found out that there are folks who are not only friendly and cordial in boat stores, but also folks who actually know what they're talking about! hurray for jerry and fawsets marine! --semilong plumbing story attached here--
did i mention ice cream? : )
