What's in a name?

This is a brief but important post I should've made long ago. We decided very early this year that the name of our sailboat is to be "Hannabel", which comes from simply combining the first four letters from our daughter Hannah's name and the last four letters from our daughter Isabel's name. Tricky, huh?

In any case, our beautiful little boat is hence forth to be known as the sailing vessel Hannabel!
