Well - it's official

Today we changed the name on our boat. I peeled 'Spirit' off the transom and we installed 'Daydream Believer' in it's place. A local computer shop did the vinyl lettering (overnight) for about $45. If you're at all handy it's an easy DIY job. I took a hair drier along - there's something about standing on the swim platform of a boat holding a hair drier that just flies in the face of everything you've ever heard about electricity and water. However, the old letters peeled of without heating so the only risk was falling off the swim platform. A little rubbing alcohol removed any residual adhesive and any wax that might be in the vicinity. Putting the new name on was way easier than I had imagined it would be - it's a two person job for lettering 3 feet wide, but if you've been communicating effectively with your helper for 36 years it should be no problem. Here's the finished product.
