She finally has a name!

"Jendor"

Named in honour of Jenny, Rebecca's mother, who passed away early this year and my Grandmother, Doris who passed away last year on the same day we went to view the boat for the first time.

I got the graphics from Wild Boat Graphics - http://www.wildboatnames.com/

It cost about £35 for the vinyl graphic. Unfortunately they initially sent in to me folded up in an envolope. The creases would have ruined it, so I called them and they apologised profusely stating that they only normally use an envolope if the letters are separate. Two days later a roll arrived with 2 more copies in perfect condition.

The quality of their product is superb. I decided to apply the vinyl with the boat in the water rather than wait for the winter. I borrowed the dinghy from the boat next to us and began to apply the graphic. Unfortunately Newton's Third Law made this tougher than originally estimated. I spent close to an hour popping and squeezing tiny bubbles. I'm really not that happy with the result and will probably reapply the second graphic in the spring before she goes back in. Eitherway I need to keep reminding myself that "there's no such thing as a 5 minute job"
