Thumbs up Fink2 in honor of Dad

As a kid,spending some summer time with family in Winter Harbor at Camp Theresa. Our Dad named the little row boat the "Fink". There probably were a few beers involved in the process and I suspect our uncle Vinny and/or Uncle Bill may have had a hand in it as well! So in honor of our father and the name of that first boat in the family, we now have a few craft on the lake named after Fink...Fink2, Fink3, Fink4, Fink5. Way to go Dad!

Is there an Ed Roth tie in, or just Fink?

Is Camp Theresa the name of your PERSONAL camp, as I am trying to remember a Camp Theresa in W. H. and can't.

Smile I am a serious Skipper.

I am a serious Skipper hence my forum name.

I keep training to be a great Skipper. Ice in or ice out I want to improve my skill. Do you know what it's like to be a real Skipper? Click the link in my signature line.

To see a short video clip of an extreme Skipper click HERE.

Nice idea for a thread. More of the lurking members should post the derivation of their forum name.

Cheers

"Codeman" was my nickname for my golden retriever Cody, who actually passed away last night at the age of 15+. He will be missed dearly. So much for holiday cheer...

"671" does not have a meaning, it was simply 3 digits that AOL used to differentiate my screen name from others when I got that email address 13+ years ago.

My heart goes out to you codeman. It is even worse because we have a 14 year old who has a bad heart and probably does not have long. It is so hard as they are like kids to us. My heart is breaking.
