We finally settled on a name for my Prairie 36...I think. After working on the boat for coming up on two years, I wanted to name it Lingchi. Lingchi is Chinese for slow slicing or death by a thousand cuts. It seem as if I couldn't go anywhere in the boat that needed attention without requiring an adhesive bandage. It didn't take me long to learn that I should clear out any booby traps before I started working in an area. It helped, but there were still a lot of cuts, scrapes, and bruises.
My lady friend (Mary) and I decided that the name "Lingchi" would be a little too negative and that we should come up something with a happier tone. After months of picking and discarding names, I remembered a Bertram 28 that I saw at a local marina twenty years ago. It was called "Time Finder". I loved the name then and I love it now so we decided to name it that. I know that it is totally ripped off, but I hope the owner of that Bertram won't mind.
So with this post I'm unveiling the new name and a new avatar. The oil painting was a Christmas present from Mary painted by her good friend Joan. The pilings are straight on the original painting.
