Naming Game

Dave and I seem to come up with the best names for boats, homes, and now...a deck! We were invited to a 'deck warming' party at friends Marcia & Barry's house. This long awaited deck is huge and gorgeous, including a utility shed and wet bar. Marcia was shocked when EVERYBODY that she invited showed up with delicious appetizers and desserts in hand. That's a lot of food since there were about 60 of us. The builder was also there and he was such a nice, personable, and talented guy. He even signed the deck, making it officially complete. I hope he received tons of business inquiries from others at the party.

As we arrived, there was a jar where we wrote down and submitted our deck name suggestions. We then voted on the possibilities and it was hilarious (how about poop deck? 😉). It all came down to two...After Deck or Aft Deck, since they are also sailors, or the crowd's favorite and my idea...Dexter (Deck-ster)! Funny how it had popped into my head and I was sure it would be an outcast, but majority rules, so Dexter it is.

The ceremony wouldn't have been complete without a christening, and the champagne certainly was flowing, along with a rum punch that Dave said was really potent.

This was definitely the best party of the season here in Hope Town.
