Story behind your V20 handle

[nipper]

I have done several bareboat cruises in the Virgin Islands and I also absolutely love it. Perhaps the most bittersweet trip we did was with my Mom, Dad, two brothers and sister. My Dad was dying of cancer but wanted to do one last trip. We had a great family time and Dad enjoyed the heck out of his last voyage despite his suffering. He died two weeks later. Ironically, the name of our boat that trip (45' Island Packet) was "Swan Song."

Yeah, if I could find a job down there, I wouldn't be up here! Sorry about your father, but man, what a way to celebrate his life one last time! I want my ashes to be spread down there. I feel like that's where my soul belongs.

"phester" or "fester" is a generic name that a few close friends, and myself, are the only ones strange enough to call one another. When joining the site I was sorta stumbling for a screen name so "phester" seemed appropriate.....kinda boring, I know.....

It is said (usually by the wife) that I have a strong personality trait of not thinking for jumping into my next project.

I have/had (sold the boat) a V20 with a 1994 johnson 150 and the boat sank in 1999.and all we did was clean it up some and its Stillrunning.

I was an ***-kicker on the Microsoft Zone Combat Flight Simulator 3 servers, and took on the yodaddy handle as a retort to extensive 'yo mamma' comments directed at me. Decided to use it when I signed up here.

This is an old thread now, but I had to add to it. It's a GREAT thread. When we first looked at our V, before we bought it, my wife found this site, and signed up. She's a pediatrician, so, that's that, and by the time I woulda thoughta changing it, too many people had already given my terrific advice, and I didn't want to "disappear" by changing the handle. We love our 1974 V, Pepe, and we use this site ALL the time. Best jokes are here, in OFFTOPIC.
My real name is Dave, and I'm sort of a jack of all trades: carpenter, poet, sailor, and now, V-20 owner.

Ferm always reminds me of a cat we had, when I lived in Florida, that ate the little lizards all the time. We called her The Furminater.

I have not reviewed the thread lately, but do we have any story from Ferm as to his handle?
