The license plate for the trailer is in the car. Tomorrow morning at 8:30, I pick up John Morrison for the drive to Connecticut. I just talked with the seller of the Mariner, who has checked out the trailer lights for me and will be doing the same for the wheel bearings.
Maybe it's time to come up with a name.
For my first Mariner, I initially called it Solace, for a Scott Joplin rag that I love. Later, I changed the name to Neville, in honor of the classical conductor Neville Marriner (sp?) .
I'm open to suggestions. Maybe there should be a boat-naming contest. Any ideas?

- I have been fortunate in my life to have earned an income through writing -- specifically through journalism. That has permitted my world to expand beyond my three wonderful children and eight grandchildren and to meet a whole circus full of interesting human beings. Now, no longer employed as a journalist, I am taking the opportunity to write the stories of some of the folks I've met. With my wife, Monica, I have sailed to fascinating destinations with the expectation of visiting many more in the years ahead.
Ancient Mariner???? We aren't getting any younger, you know!!
