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
Wow a Scamp with no name, unheard of.
You did the right thing. Did you smack it with a bottle of champagne, roll it down the driveway and launch it in the street?
Happy Trails to R Tardis and her family.

And what is the derivation, meaning or significance of R Tardis?
Wayne,
LOL, you asked the question I was afraid to ask....
Tardis is a time machine if I recall, but not sure if that was where they were heading. Could be an interesting answer.

Because it is "bigger on the inside" just like the Tardis in Doctor Who:)
Jeanine Jaeckel
So true! We have had at least 3 people comment how much bigger it seems once they got inside.

I like when folks take the 30 second tour of the Scamp 13, when they exit they almost always say "Well, it's all you need."
