Renaming Celebration

Having worked on our new boat for much of the winter we feel she's ready to head out. Have taken a few shakedown cruises and a number of daysails and hopefully have all the bugs worked out.
On Saturday afternoon we hosted a renaming party attended by 40 friends. A great time was had with Chris and I putting on a show tossing Champagne to Neptune, Poseidon, Aeolus and the four winds asking for their blessings. Weather was great with Sunshine and temps in the hi 80's.
Apres-Ski is the name we chose, if you non skiers aren't familiar with the term this is the traditional party after a day of skiing. Since winter sailing in the warm southern waters has taken the place of skiing for us this is our Apres-ski party.
