Hi all ,trying to get some clarification ,if k'aimi means the seeker and I'a means fish does k'aI'aimi mean" the fish seeker"? And if kohana means" little flower" what words can i use to say either "my" or "our"? thanks
 
My admiral should be able to help you after she wakes up... :smt024
 
great ill check in in a bit im going to clean some silicone wheeeee.
 
or ka'uhaneimi,"the soul seeker" is that right
 
was that a cheap shot? from a colts fan?I guess you named your boat first thing that popped in your head/
 
oops, missed this thread and responed to the other one.,..haow about "Wai Lanai"?
 
ok havn funyet,whats wai lanai mean? and sfergson not my first either ,maybe my last ,have to lock me up tryin to name it.cabin fever ya know
 
Not a 100% sure, but the boat I bought was named that when we bought it. In doing some checking, I found that "Wai" means water and "Lanai" means a veranda or roofed patio often furnished and used as a living room.

Not the most romantic name, I guess, but it sure got people asking!

Just a suggestion...after all, isn't that what a boat is? :huh:

Good luck!
 
By the way...we just sold our boat and I had absolutely no intention of doing so...happened to be we had a very decent offer on it and I just couldn't refuse. I hate being boatless. My happy place is gone. Now the search is on for a replacement!
 
ok everythings erie ,been there i think and didnt find what i was looking for ill try again i am sure thank you .havin fun yet ,I have a nice 400 hour 93 2655 bayliner for sale.Dpmulvey just want something that rolls off the tounge easy and makes sense thanks for the concern the coast guard is stationed right across the river from my entrance to the saginaw river.
,dont want those guys ticked off at me.
