Unfortunately, we have never renamed the boat as that brings VERY BAD kharma. So its still called ESCAPADE. In any case SAL would be an inappropriate name as that is a weather term for the African dust that sweeps across the Atlantic suppressing hurricane development this time of year.

I have a long story about one of those fancy yachts in the inner basin, it was originally called PERFECT PRESCRIPTION but is now called FORTUNATE SUN. Truly one of the most over the top yachts to ever have graced that basin. ESCAPADE and PERFECT PRESCRIPTION shared a piggy back boat ride from Brisbane, Australia to Ft Lauderdale on a large yacht ferry. Many anecdotes about receiving these vessels in Ft L but I won't bore you. FORTUNATE SUN is listed in the top 100 most expensive yachts in the world, do a Google search for it. ESCAPADE fortunately doesn't share that distinction, its just your basic blue water cruising sail boat.

Drygulch's boat looks just like the Minnow. Sal is 1st Mate.

Happy Moon Day.
