That's
Manatuck, Seabreeze #46--the boat the PO bought as a replacement for
Perelandra, #16.

Hey, that view is between wiper strokes...cut me some slack!

We've discussed
Phoenix, but I highly doubt use it because it is so overused. Sadly, I doubt most (if any) of the other boats named
Pheonix are quite so aptly named! It certainly fits in this case.
Around here, names reflecting on the boat's fire-checkered past have been flying about, but frankly I don't think that the boat need be named in such a way as to reflect that single--though important--event in her history. So the search continues. I'd rather the new name reflect the grace and beauty of what will be, rather than what is or was.
I might even have considered retaining the name
Perelandra, but the PO is planning to change
Manatuck to
Perelandra, so good enough.
It will come, it will come. Now that she's here I may go sit aboard and reflect for a bit. She's so warm and cozy below right now.
