Farewell to Mothra

Well, Mothra went on down the road to Santa Cruz
today with a happy new owner. I had a lot of fun with that boat and
satisfaction from fixing her up and getting her sailing again. She
was just the right boat to introduce sailing to the family in a
relatively low cost, low risk way. Turns out, the family really liked
it. You know what happened next--Lapras is here.

Sailing buddy, Dean, wanted to know if I need to change the address on this blog now. Nah, Mariner #1460 was the boat that got me back into sailing again and sharing these small boat adventures with family and friends.

Farewell, Mothra!
Does she look upset with me?

What's with the audio. Is it some meaningful and melancholy tune for which we are to reflect about Mothra? It's always a bit sad to see something like a boat or a car get driven away by a new owner, no matter how "done" we are with it. I even think sometimes of that AMF Puffer, which never even got a proper name. How sad. Goodbye Mothra.

That's the Mothra song sung by Mothra's twin priestesses. It translates to something like:

Mothra O Mothra
If we were to call for help
Over time
Over sea
Like a wave you'd come
Our guardian angel

If you ever need Mothra to return to save the world from, say, King Ghidorah try singing that song.
