A name for the new boat

Angela and I were tossing around names for the boat a few days ago. My initial thought was that "Serenity" would be a nice name. It fits in with our 12-step work, and it fits in with the style of laid-back sailing we will be doing.

But it's also on the BoatUS list of the 10 Most Popular Boat Names every year. It's a cliche.

So Angela and I did a little brainstorming via Yahoo Messenger. We eventually landed on a nice Italian phrase and I fell in love with it:

Dolce Far Niente

Literally, it means "Sweet doing nothing." Sweet idleness. Yep, that's what I'm hoping for. That's why I bought a boat.
