New Name and a Look Back

When we bought this boat she had the name Harthrob. The previous owner's name was Hart, so I am sure they thought it was cute. I have not liked the name from the beginning and knew I would change it. I did not realize just how hard it was going to be to decide on a name. The last two boats that I named were pretty easy. I don't know why this one has been so difficult. I almost decided on "Unsinkable 2". But it just didn't feel right. I probably ran 30 names past Sharon and got the same response every time "I don't care". One day I was laying in my beanbag on the bow thinking and thought of the name Sleepy Dragon. Somehow I liked it. It just fit. I thought about it for about a month and nothing new came to mind and so Sleepy Dragon it is. If you want to know why you will have to ask someone else because I don't have a clue. Maybe it's because sometimes I feel like a mean old dragon that is just too tired to raise any cane anymore.


We left Indiana almost seven years ago and have transitioned from a 25' sailboat to a 38' power boat. I thought it might be fun to look at the journey so far.
