Just a little repost from my other blog, since I am concentrating all paddling related posts here. This is concerning the name of my boat.
After much deliberation, I have settled on the name for my boat.
Tashi
Firstly, it is Tibetan in origin and the name translates roughly as " a blessing or good luck" As part of a longer phrase, Tashi Delak, it is used as a greeting to fellow persons around.
It is a unique name. Suitably female for the naming of a sea going vessel, conforming to the traditions of old. And applicable to any seafaring activity in a kayak, "a blessing" would mean a good and safe journey to anyone who takes this boat to sea and from another angle, it is a blessing to be able to use the craft to take us to where we so desire.
And so we have it.... my feathercraft..... Tashi
