When visitors see PocketShip for the first time they frequently ask two questions.
"When is the launch date?", and "Does it have a name?".
I wish I knew the answer to the former. At one point I thought it might be the summer of 2021, but that year came and went, and we were still nowhere near the end of the build.
I started to believe it could be the summer of 2022, but again the year will shortly draw to a close with the boat still in the workshop.
But I am now feeling quietly confident that she will be in the water in the summer of 2023. After all, all I have to do now is finish painting her and do the fitting out. Right?
In the final analysis, the only honest answer is that it will be launched when it is finished, and not before. It has taken a lot longer than anticipated to get things finished to my satisfaction, and that's just the way it is.
The answer to the second question is yes, she does have a name. But only one person knows it, and that's me ...
And again the name will be announced on launch day, and not before.
Here's to launch day, whenever it may be!
