Boat Renaming Ritual?

[Norm]

Or, you and first mate have a FEW drinks, next thing you know you'll be on the bow pouring champagne East to West and Visa versa etc:) At least you won't have to pluck a cherry out of the greased up belly button of a fat man in diapers with your mouth (sober even) while the hair stubs on your leg are itching like crazy.

No worry Shellbacks, I will give away no more secrets of the deep! Just wanted Terry to know that he's gettin off easy:)

That's no fat man! That's the Royal Baby! I'm sure there is a MacGregor owner initiation ritual someplace in the making.
Something about having to sniff clorox while standing on your head or something. (kids don't try this at home!)

Now the MacGregor boat owner initiation ritual we know something about. That ritual can take place in the aft birth or vee birth and only required the Skipper and the first mate! Liquor was optional and could be used before or after or even during the initation. The ritual is best performed with the ballast full!

Ahhhh, THAT ritual.

Among the more "traditional" sea going rituals are of course:

Shellback
Golden Shellback
Blue nose
Red nose

Can I hear an "amen" from those worthy entrants into the log of Davey Jones?
