I also decided on a name for my boat.
Again, its a 17' logic with a honda 50hp and bowmount riptide trolling motor. Vessel name will be "Cross Rip" in honor of my grandfather who passed away in January.
He had two sailboats bearing that name. He was inducted into the Collegiate Sailing Hall of Fame and also won several Lipton Cup races to Bermuda. He raced against JFK in college when he was at MIT and JFK was at Harvard. He was a great navigator long before the days of GPS, etc. I plan on exploring his career alot more 'cause unfortunately, everything I know is pretty much second hand as he was fighting Alzheimer's for a long time. He attended my high school graduation (almost 15 yrs ago), but by the time I finished college, he didn't know who I was (no, I only had to go one extra semester). Wish I could've spent time on the water with him... I could have learned alot.
Anyways, you can add the "Cross Rip" to the list.
