We're All Growed Up Now

After three and a half months, the baby is no longer a baby. Now it will go by it's proper name - the (Maui Blue) Pearl - as we celebrate this momentous turn on the odometer. And pay no attention to my lead foot, which by the way, was only going nine mph over the posted speed anyway.



















Why have I decided to call it the Pearl? Well, little to my readers' surprise, I operate two museums on the weekends, one of which is a maritime history museum. I spent the past eleven weeks guarding the helm of this small gem on the city's Isle and earned the nickname: Captain. It fits. Not long ago I acquired a captain's hat and so named my car the Maui Blue Pearl. I call it the Pearl for short, and no, Jack Sparrow won't mind - he was my first mate in a past lifetime and actually suggested I use the name for my own commandeered ship.
