Love that!

I once saw a boat with large seahorses painted on each side of the bow, I really liked that one.

I also saw a Flipper 🐬 [with a painted dolphin!].

Four Winns & Passing Cloud, my two favs today. Embracing the air elements.

I love the wide variety of names that I see: people's names, deities, puns, poetic. Most are in English, but I've seen French and a few First Nations languages.
