In Response To: Off Topic: Boat Names? (Robert Owens)

Pyxis was named after the star that represents the compass needle in the constellation Argo. It lies off my porch where she was built, and besides kayaks look like compass needles don't they?

Velus has been reserved for a MacGregor sailing canoe, and is the sail of the Argo.

I think one of my favorites is a local charter boat, the "Ike Witt." Say it fast and you'll get it.
