Hello everyone looking forward to exchanging and finding info about the Isle may I suggest "Desor"

With but one suggestion to a person; I'll offer the name of "Recovery II" to honor Cpt. McCargo's Northwest Fur Company vessel (even if it was tied to the Bloody Brit side of that 1812 tussle). One of the more interesting threads I've seen in some time. Keep those suggestions coming.

All the really good names are too complicated. This was my last choice.

These were alternates:

esprit d'eau (Water Spirit)
Invincible II

Could have suggested Sleazo's Ship o'Dreams, eh!?

Hi all,

This it's just a reminder that this contest is closed. I'll be sending the names to Capt Don by early next week.

Thanks for participating!

Best one of all in my opinion.

Capt Don had reviewed the names. He won't make a decision on the name for sometime, and because of the short time between now and the start of the season, the boat won't get it's new name until next year.

Thanks to all those who participated, and stay tuned!

I suggest Ojibwa in honor of the Native people who once lived there. GR
