What Should We Name Her?
So Carolyn already let the cat out of the bag, but it is now official that we are half owners of a Cal-27!! We met Dennis Hughes and his son, Steven, at the Sea Scouts base in Newport harbor to meet Terry who handles the sales of donated boats for the Scouts. We checked the boat out as much as we could and it is the cleanest of any we've seen although it definitely needs a good power washing and buffing (maybe some paint) and some typical work on the wood which needs sanding and varnish. We may decide to paint on some sort of accent stripe as it seems rather vanilla looking but it does have a black and gold stripe at the waterline. It has a self-furling jib, an engine that works (we think), and even an automatic pilot attachment. After Carolyn I left for a short weekend in Lake Arrowhead, Dennis was able to get a diver who was working on a nearby boat to check out the hull and everything looks good!

We can probably keep the boat at the Sea Base for a month or so. We're probably several more months out for a slip at Dana Point so we'll have to try out another slip in San Pedro or Long Beach which means a bit of a drive to work on it.
Just to get the imagination going re names, I found a site with registered boat names. Here are a few actual names to get you all thinking: sailvation; saline grace; sail la vie; california girl; california dreamin'; sails call.
