Today, with the help from my friend, I have finally named the boat. What does TANE' mean anyway?
"Chasing Summer"
After all, that is my retirement plan. Chase summer above and below the equator.
09/12/11: Finally researched the origin of Tane' It's from New Zealand / Poynesian mythology. Maori mythology is from New Zealand
A short form of the Maori word for man, this is the name of the Maori god of forests and light. According to the Maori creation myth Tanemahuta was responsible for pushing the sky and the earth, his parents, apart and giving man the world he now lives in.

I love an old boat myself. Looking forward to your progress. My best friend has a Spencer 46 on Vancouver Island in Birtish Columbia, canada. By all accounts an excellent vessel...Allan
