" We NAME THIS VESSEL Dakare.

May good fortune be her destiny and that of all who sail on her.

May she and her crew be kept safe from harm and all the perils of the sea.

May she find fair wind, clear skies and calm seas in all her travels.

May her ocean voyages be joyful, care free and full of adventure.

And finally, may she have the good fortune to befriend all those whose wake she crosses and whose shores she visits."

********************************************************

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.

So throw off the bowlines.

Sail away from the safe harbor.

Catch the trade winds in your sails.
