[Rhodes22-list] Newbie questions Suppliers/Anchoring/Sail Balance

[Shawn Boles]

Charles:

I used a  variation of ritual I found
here<http://www.rhodes22.org/blew_skies/naming.html>.
I was not sure about her previous name(s) so I just asked the Gods to
retire them with honor.

1. Good red wine.
2. Pour some on bow as libations to Gods
3. Make your request for naming and protection.
4. Toast the boat!

BTW -  Clean the bow quickly - Red wine stains...

Cheers,
Shawn
