How to make a silk purse from a sow's ear.

My 25 foot CAL 2-25 sailboat came to me named

"Misti Rae"... Now, being of sound mind and East Stockton White trash extraction.. the last thing I wanted was a sailboat named for a wee Bakersfield Lass who'd rather hit you upside the head with a Coca Cola bottle than talk to you...

Still, all the sailors know that renaming a boat, especially a SAIL boat is really bad Mojo!

So.. I messed with the font and the spacing and the dipthongs and am having the graphics redone as

"MISTIRAE"... with the A and E combined "AE" like you see in latin.. guess that will fool the casual observer but will still placate Neptune and Aeolius.. the two gods who really count!
