In Response To: Naming Question. (Ian Johnston)

I named my Chesapeake 17 "Taanisartuq" Inuit - He is dancing

Then I learned that most Inuit didn't name their kayaks because they saw their sleek craft as an extension of one's body. I don't quite feel like I'm "wearing" the Chesapeake, so I don't feel too bad about the name.

The Guillemot doesn't have, and probably won't ever have a name. It's referred to as "the Guillemot".

Shawn

And don't ask me why I painted the little Inuit guy dancing with a feathered paddle!

: Just out of curiousity, how many people on the KBbb actually name their
: kayaks?

: Thanks,

: Ian
