"Out There"

That's the name of our fifth-wheeler & last night we had a BBQ & drinks for friends & family to 'launch' the van, reveal it's name and say thanks & farewell (for now) to them all. We also took the opportunity to have our new neighbours over, our little right-of-way has had a few changes in the last six months, with 3 of the 6 houses recently selling. It was a great night and we're sorry some couldn't make it due to prior commitments.

When it came to naming the van we were a little unsure whether we wanted to or not, our boats have had names but then that is usually expected, most people refer to their boat by name, there are by-laws & regulations in some areas & with some marinas requiring a name for identification, it helps with safety at sea & also when using your marine radio.

 

It's a different story on the road, your vehicles registration number is the all important identification. The decision was made when I was sorting some old photos & came across one of our first yacht taken 15 years ago. It was our pride & joy and a new direction for us back then. I had forgotten about the name until I saw the photo and it seemed fitting to pass it on to the van as we take another new direction 'Out There' doing it! And besides, Invisible Touch & Quantum didn't quite seem to fit.
