1. Good morning, my dear EarlG!

If I had a boat, I'd name her Peggy Sue!

Thanks for doing this every day. It's a treat for all of us.

I hope you're having a great day!

3. Great day to you EarlG...

Congratulations to all the people with anniversaries, milestones and a hearty hello to our new members.

Boat name...Wave Goodbuy.

Two best days of a boat owners life...

1. Day they bought the boat
2. Day they sold the boat.

9. Thank for the list.

My boat would be named Hydrotherapy!

[OriginalGeek]

10. If I had a boat I would call

my friend and give it back to him. I like going out on boats but not enough to to accept the PITA they can be. I prefer to have a friend with a boat than have a boat.

(I used to work at a boat factory in my younger days)

FLOTUS?

[SheltieLover]

18. Hmmm....if I had a boat...

I've owned several already, but my dream boat would be a 44 ft. Morgan sailing yacht, and its name would be
Morgan Le Fay.

Congratulations to all first-time posters, those celebrating anniversaries, and those having post milestones.

[CaptainTruth]

19. High Tied

I've had that name in mind for years, now I just need a boat!!!

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. This reminds me of the old "A Day in the Lounge" feature.

Happy anniversary, milestone, and birthday celebrations.

If I had a boat (ha ha!), it'd be a wooden-hulled sailboat, preferably a Herreshoff like the one linked below.

And I'd name it the Westering Home.

Thanks for posting this.

21. I've owned a boat and its name was "Money Pit". I will never own another boat.

Better to have friends with boats.

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. Bonjour, M EarlG!

If I had a boat, I'd name it for my dog:


Who's A Good Boat, Then?

[LearnedHand]

23. Thanks, EarlG

I’d name my boat Gazes Also (stole this idea from the novelist Christopher Brockmyre).

25. Reminds me of that old joke: The second happiest day of your life is the day you get the boat

The happiest is the day you get rid of it.

Love this new feature!
