I love it. We’ve gone back and forth and hither and yon while thinking this over. Remember the moment when we wanted to use Cryptozoic? Refers to animals who adapt to settlement by people by living secretly alongside (raccoons, opossum, etc). Seemed like the perfect name for sneak-aboards. However…Itinerant really says it! I like the implication a work-as-you-go type of traveling, because that’s certainly us.
I agree with Dena. However did you guy’s pick a name ? I assume ” Global Navigators ” is the one.I’m an embedded Hawaiian. hahahaha
Aloha
…It’s funny how we kept going back to that name, S/V S.N. Itinerant. It really does say it all. Nomad isn’t a bad name, it’s just not appropriate or rather, it’s not a complete explanation of what it is we’re doing with this boat but as you can see from the above… We Are sailing, We Are a sovereign nation and we are most definitely Itinerant, it just fits.
Itinerant is the perfect name for the two of you and a good one for the boat but nothing could sound as sexy as “Sovereign Nation”
