A small ceremony was held at Winslow Wharf Marina to present a new name for Al Lindstrum's 'new' boat. It was part fun and partly a plea to the various gods of the sea to accept the name, and not make mischief over the offense of changing the name, of a vessel plying their seas! Commodore Mark Leese led with an entreaty to Poseidon, King of the Sea, and lord of all the lesser sea gods....

 The skies cleared-- a good omen!

Sister-in-law, Ruth, committing the old name to the deep.... George Moen offering a suitable measure of champagne to the sea gods.
And the name revealed-- Liten Båt, meaning "Little Boat" in Norwegian. |
