Reporting back

So our boat has now been renamed Eva Luna – it feels magical, it feels right.

Some of the indoor chaos - including dogs and children

We had considered a number of names, some of which are so common that to register them we would have had to have added a number (in the case of Merlin, 95!), and had we used our preferred choice, Beltane, my mother, convinced that Paganism is the Devil’s work, might never have visited. So Eva Luna she now is. Eva Luna she shall remain for as long as she is part of our family.

Yesterday’s naming ceremony was beset by a catalogue of things which could easily have ruined our day, but didn’t. The first was the rain. It belted down, so instead of running around outside from the north to south etc, we were throwing ‘libations’ to Neptune out of the window. So if you saw fish behaving strangely on the Thames yesterday, now you know why.

The second was a problem with the delivery of some T-shirts for the crew. These didn’t arrive because Mail Boxes Etc in Reading turned away the package. Why is the reason for some debate, but it’s wasted a lot of time for a lot of people. ‘Nuff said!

The third was that the rain knocked the electrics out on the marina, so our plans to eat in the bar were somewhat scuppered. I think not feeding you children counts as child neglect?

Attached are some pretty poor shots from yesterday, grabbed on a mobile phone. Sorry you weren’t there with us to enjoy it!
