Look what was on the top of my car when I got home last night . . .
A BRAND-NEW PYRANHA BURN!  I'm super thrilled to own a Burn. It's a monster creekboat that does well on big rivers, so it should be perfect for me. Bernie over at Whitewater Warehouse gave me a good deal (because I am a professional kayaker now), and I owe him an article for his newsletter in exchange.
Now, on to business: This boat needs a name. The short list, in alphabetical order: Argon (used in blue neon signs), Bunsen (burner known for its blue flame), Erwin ("white river"), Inys/Innes ("from the river island"), Torlan ("from the river bank"), Torren (from "torrent"), or Xenon (used to make blue-white lights).
The boat isn't going into the water -- any water -- until it has a name. Of course, I can't run a river with it until I have a sprayskirt (apparently they don't regularly stock XS women's skirts for an XL-cockpit boat), but with Cheat Fest coming up quickly and the speed of custom orders these days, time is short. Help me out, folks!
