HISTORY
Well, last year we decided that the boat we had then wasn't quite what we wanted to use to take our trip South. We wanted a few more amenities like: shower, hot/cold pressurized water, propane stove/oven, comfortable aft berth, wheel steering, inboard diesel......

So what happened was that we bought my good friend Paul's boat, an S2 9.2C (30 ft.). It has all the comforts of home including heating and a/c, refrigerator, brand new Yanmar 3YM20 diesel engine (oops, that isn't in most homes!), all of the above mentioned items including even a small bathtub!

Our next problem was to come up with a new name for the boat. It had previously been called Porta Bella. Beautiful Port. But that just wasn't what we wanted. For a few months people would ask me about how I liked Paul's Boat. We almost named it that!! Finally it came down to either Lark, or MarLyn. Lark would be simple and allow us to use a Lark bird symbol as our mascot symbol. We liked MarLyn even better because it stood for Mark and Linda (I like to call Linda - Lyn) so we put the two together. What was neat about that is we could use a marlin as our boat mascot symbol. I designed it and sent it to a sign company to make it for us. I then put it on the stern. As you can see from the picture, it came out pretty nice. Oops, how about the tub instead! ha ha ha
