We received the exciting news last week that we had received a dock space at a nearby lake for our sail boat. We were thinking that we were not going to be able to enjoy sailing this summer as the shuttle service to the mooring (shown above) was done away with in an attempt by the commonwealth to save money. We didn't want to invest in the cost of a "dingy" to get to our boat, so had reserved ourselves to the fact that the boat was going to sit on it's trailer for the summer - my wonderful husband was going to do some work on it - and if we couldn't find another spot to launch it it would go up for sale at the end of summer.
It is absolutely still amazing to me the way that God works. Here we were responsible and decided to not frivolously spend money on another boat we didn't really need - and God made the dock space become available. He did - really - we'd been on the waiting list for years - before we even had our last boat - so somewhere in the neighborhood of 7/8/9 years - whenever I first got the itch to return to my childhood weekend routines of sailing with my parents.
We got word today from the wonderful man who trailers, launches, enhances - read - does all the hard work - for our boat that it was in the water. So I'm thinking that we'll take some time this weekend to go and enjoy our floating boat - our ONE floating boat.
And ... here's the challenge for all of you ... what should we name her? We've been thinking about it for the two years we've owned her and can not come up with anything ...
Awaiting my next calling and a name for our boat ...
Thanks for stopping by -
ReplyDeleteHmmm.. boat names run the gamut... from a child's name to witty groaners...
Perhaps something like Galilee as in The Sea of Galilee, also Lake of Gennesaret, Lake Kinneret, Sea of Tiberias or Tiberias Lake... Or the Jordan...
The boat in the picture is pretty - as is the lake behind it.
Congrats. Sounds like this was meant to float! Sorry, can't think of a name.
