2007 The Renaming of the Good Sailing Vessel Mariposa

After saying a short "denaming" ceremony, then a reading and a prayer, the anointing is ready to commence! First up is the boat, then Walt, then Bonnie (who is ready and rarin' to go!)
Arlene (the boat's Godmother) couldn't believe I (Lynn) wanted her to douse Bonnie too, so I missed the shot exhorting her to pour the "virgin" (the champagne) on Bonnie! Thank goodness Bill Wisel was ready on the shot! After the naming, it was lunch time, then after lunch, for some of the gang, a swim was in order!
Waiting for the ceremony to begin, Bonnie and Walt look a little nervous, both mirroring the same stance (look at their hands). Bill Wisel playing with Gerry's camera (oh GREAT!)..
9th Daughter and Wind Chime arrive for the renaming ceremony.
