    Perhaps "Puppis Duplex" meaning "double stern" would serve better. "Cauda" refers to the tail of an animal, whereas "Puppis" refers to the stern of a boat or ship, from whence we get the term "poop deck".

    AAaah --give "er" a real name "per adua ad astra" (Motto of the RCAF) and in this case quite suitable for the building and operation of such a fine craft. :D

    Considering the state of the world these days, "Per Ardua" or "Per Patientia" alone may be the most fitting, though those more illustrate the way to the boat more than to describe the boat itself.

    Oops -- misspelled the Ardua on my hat badge my fellow veterans will chastise me. :eek: I envy you being at the stage of painting on the bateau's name.

    Yes. Come to think of it, I believe I have a can of metallic gold paint around here someplace, but I could also use real twigs..

    It is always something when power hungry narcissists use fear mongering tactics and propaganda to manipulate the masses into a state of subservience. It is good someone has the courage to expose their slimy plot.

    We have some extremely hot weather, 37oC indoors I noted the other day. The earth must have tilted a bit more because the sun now comes up on the South side of an East West wall, which feels weird in the morning. We're supposed to have a Northern sun.

    Rainfall is only about half of the previous years, not good for boating.
