    Don't forget the name tags for all the ships previous names.
    We go to a pet store and get quick tags made in the tag kiosk..
    Ya got to have not so cheap champagne, not the expensive stuff. Neptune knows when you short him, Poseidon is a lush, he'll drink anything.
    When you cast the hootch to the winds, aim low or a real good toss up-wind. If it lands on the boat, the up-wind deity did not get any and knows it. Ya got to keep then all happy.

    We used to get dressed up and cater name changing ceremonies.

    Also adrift, not at anchor or docked, engines preferred off. Remember, you asking, not commanding a name change, AND the fair winds are hard-of-hearing (as some guest). Cover the new transom till near the end of the ceremony when you announce to the party that Overkill has safely arrived.

    Hope you and your parties have a wonderful time.

    Long Live OVERKILL.

    Here we are one week from the rendezvous, I am sure we will be the ugly duckling in the flock. House sides in primer (although I think we got all the rot), tape over a bad spot on the foredeck, temporary paint in the cockpit (the tank needs to come out) and on the cockpit coaming (previous owner fiberglassed over the teak and it's rotten underlayment). She was probably as close to a dumpster boat as you could get when I found her, hopefully the folks will understand. Introducing my brother Jim, ship's Morale Officer, without whom I could not do this:

    Great job Baltimore Bob,

    Please keep up the pictures and restoration of your 42 Post.

    I think the 42 Post is an iconic classic, just like the 31 Bertram and 41 Hatteras (to name a few).

    I plan on attending the Post reunion in the future, the last two years I have had a conflict and could not attend.

    I hope the folks at the rendezvous will be understanding....just yesterday Overkill was a construction site, today we are trying to clean her up enough to be at least respectable. Suffice to say I'll be a bit self conscious to be amongst all the beautiful boats.

    Time to get moving again. Sent off the specs to have a new aft tank built. That's why we used cheap pain in the cockpit....is soon going to get a BIG hole in it. Also got a report back from the Detroit guy re-rebuilding my blower. J&T definitely screwed it up then had the marbles to charge me twice. I did get the second charge rescinded after squawking to corporate. After I pay for it this time I'm going to start squawking again.
