As you can tell by the name of this blog .Our boat, once we acquire one will be re-named "The Goonies" We figure this name says a lot in the way we think of ourselves. Goonie is another name for the majestic Black Footed Albatross , These birds can fly up to 6250 miles in one flight .With a wingspan of 11 feet this is the largest on the planet. That's the way we would like to think of our sailboat, traveling great distances with our sails (our wings) and the power of the wind.
I've heard that there are some superstitions with boat re-naming so we will be following those to a "T" we don't want to upset Neptune.
