After sailing on the Columbia River for over 30 years with three different boats we thought we should carry on the marine traditon of performing a Christening ceremony for our Scamp.  Unlike our last boat which required a formal de-naming ceremony prior to Christening the Scamp had no name from the previous owner so this ceremony was a bit simpler.  Borrowing from the traditional naval toast my wife Jeanine wrote the following:

Oh mighty and great ruler of all the roads that we shall travel, mountains we shall climb and to the destinations we shall venture to, take unto your records and recollection this worthy recreational vehicle and hereafter and for all time be known as R Tardis, guarding her with your mighty arm, ensuring her safe and rapid passage throughout her journeys within your realm.    (Pour the offering and share with all around)

From now until forever  R Tardis :   You’re off to great places,  Today is your day

Your mountains are waiting, so….. get on your way!

Happy Trails from the crew of R Tardis
