Naming your V20

[Perfidiajoe]

Hey Bygracealone, I'm sorry if I'm being foward, but I belong to a boat club, which gets together w/ a few other clubs, & every year we have a blessing of the fleet. We have a Minister, a Priest, & a Rabbi, (No this is not the start of a bad joke), & each will ask for God's blessing for our fleet. Afterwards we have a cook out at one or the others club. Maybe meeting other boaters is our blessing, on the water we never can have enough friends. Sorry if I was out of line with this, or jumped in where I don't belong. Joe

I will be renaming my V-20 before the season starts. I'm going to follow the ceremony and have some fun with it. Maybe I will have a little renaming party and take everybody out for a ride. My boat is currently named the "Fritz-Marie", I will be renaming it "Half Hers II" since my fiance pays for half of the boat and the bills associated, now thats a good woman.

Bygracealone thanks for your prayer. You are probably right in that you have no special powers but you may be able to explain what happened to me.

Up until three summers ago I had never been stopped by the Coast Guard or DNR or any other of the authorities. On a Saturday afternoon I was walking back to the shed past my neighbor sitting on his deck. He asked if I was going fishing. I said I had no one to go with me. Ron volunteered to go as long as I would take his friend who was sitting with him. His friend happened to be his pastor of his church. As we headed to the boat ramp we stopped to let the pastor purchase his fishing license. Once on the water after about one hour fishing a large vessel was heading straight at us. Then we saw the blue lights flashing, Ontario Provincial Police. Skipper stop you vessel. Skipper put your vessel in neutral. After passing all the inspections they left. Why was it that the first and only time with a man of the cloth on board was I stopped. The next Sunday the pastor used our fishing outing in his sermon.

Thanks again for your prayer! Bill Mc ;D

Joe, you're not being too forward at all buddy. I'm actually quite surprised at how open many of you are with regard to the faith. Indeed, you are correct in seeing the good times we have with one another on and off the water as part of God's blessing upon us. It is a wonderful thing to get to know one another and enjoy each other's company.

When it comes to religion, I'm not one for mixing faiths, as I'm persuaded that there is but one Way, Truth, and Life in Christ alone. BUT, I'm all for having a good time with one another.

Mac, man!, you really know how to tell a story. As I was reading, you built up the story such that you had me anticipating some kind of supernatural experience you might have had as a result of taking the pastor with you 8) I thought you were going to say you caught your greatest catch or that you were saved from some serious situation or something like that. Funny story though ;)
