Tanda Malaika
We’ve spent so much time trying to come up with a name for our new home. We’ve heard all the superstitions concerning renaming a boat, but since we aren’t the superstitious type, we are giving her our own name. Beside, Emma announced to us that she read that if you do rename it, you just have to get a virgin to urinate on your newly named boat, and all ill juju will be washed away. She, of course, volunteered to do the honors!
We figured that since she’s an African built yacht, she deserves an African name, and the one we have chosen, means “Guardian of the Sea.” Her name will be Tanda Malaika. Maybe a little tough for some to pronounce at first, but before you know it, it’ll roll of your tongue beautifully like it does ours.

At least as you make your entries with pictures you are basically writing a family history and Ir stays all in one place.

We saw you just sail out of Red Hook and looked up the name since it is so unusual. Waved at your daughter yesterday as she was photographing her watermelon pumpkin. Would have introduced ourselves, but thought you all were charter guests. Wherever you are headed, safe sails always!

We are right around the corner at Hawksnest Bay, and will be coming your way tomorrow. We need to pick up a package in Redhook. We’ll keep an eye out for you.
