When I bought the Ericson, she had two faded names on her stern - the latest being First Impression. I removed the names while at Oriental Plantation and cleaned up the transom while at Deaton Yacht Service.
I had considered a litany of names and had settled on Second Wind until I discovered that it was the number one most frequently used name for sailboats. There were already two at Sea Harbour.
She needed a name and I was wracking my brain trying to come up with something both suitable and unique. We joked about calling her TBD.
It suddenly dawned on me that this blog's title would be perfect. Six Knot Grin. It captures the delight of flying before the wind that's unique to sailing. The more I thought about it, the more I liked it.
I designed the lettering online at Ebuysigns.com and had it shipped to Sea Harbour. As usual, the lettering was a snap to install, especially with the aid of the club's dock raft.
The next day, I rose early as usual and was greeted by a beautiful sunrise on Pierce Creek. It was the dawn of a new day for both of us.
