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.

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!

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!
