Christening Endurance
February 9th, 1999
February 9th, 1999 was splashdown date and this boat was officially christened Endurance!
The broken glass on the bow is from the christening and the green branch is to insure her safe passage home.

Below I'm pooring the champagne over the bow to appease the water gods, and Chris is doing the christening.
   

The night before splashdown. Putting the final coat on in the rain!
