... We have a name! After much tossing and turning and debating and researching and hemming and hawing and getting tons of advice from all sorts of willing contributors, we have officially sent in our USCG paperwork to change the name of our Tartan to Kintala. For anyone interested, part of Tim's heritage is gypsy so the name Kintala is especially appropriate. It is a Romani (gypsy) word that means "a state of balance" or "karma". Being firm believers in John Vigor's Black Box Theory, the name becomes even more appropriate. (And then there's always the fact that we have a narrow stern and need a shorter name...) So sometime soon we will have the renaming festivities at the marina to appease the sea-gods and undoubtedly copious amounts of alcohol will not only be offered to Neptune, but to all The Assembled as well. Now if we can just decide on a font... Care to vote?
(or how to move onto a sailboat) With the advent of our 50th birthdays came the usual sorts of life evaluations that one goes through. At what have I succeeded? What contributions have I made? What do I have left that I want to do before I die? Living on the water was high on both our lists. For any who share the dream, and for our family members who might not understand, this is our story. We don't know where it will take us, but welcome along for the ride!
