Blog of the month indeed. You can tell that it is the quiet season for news! Sadly, in the marketing email they used a picture of Zephyros, Andrew and Linda's 43:
We reckon that their marketing folks just browsed through the blog and grabbed an image. Shame they don't know the difference between a 47 and a 43! Luckily the sales team seem to have a better level of product knowledge. Still, it made Zephyros famous for 5 minutes too.
This marketing email was sent out when the Nordhavn collective noun conundrum was the current post. We reckon that most folks who "clicked through" now realise just how demented we are. Busted! Sorry to all the foreign folks who were confronted with rather tongue in cheek English cynical humour. However, Norman, the winner of the creative contest, is waiting for the job offers to come flooding in. He is getting an agent and awaits your contact.
In case the Nordhavn USA marketing team are interested, their email and the link from the Nordhavn.com website generated 230 blog hits and the associated page reads in a week. The most popular post is the disjointed rambling on fuel consumption in the "useful stuff" section. Anyone would think that fuel costs were an issue for the 1 mile per gallon planing boat owners.......
Finally, an update on the Nordhavn collective noun challenge. We had a suggestion from "Anonymous" who added a comment to the blog as follows:
What about "A Party of Nordhavns" or even "A Lot of Nordhavns". But you could always have "A Havn of Nordies"
Clever... Graham, an ex boat owner who had a twin petrol engined flying machine that is a world away from the ocean crossing beasts had a good idea too:
A plod - They are big, grey and a bit like a pod (of whales) but slower......
Any more ideas?

Thanks for your ideas / cheek / corrections / whatever! They should hit the blog shortly after the system checks them to make sure they will not put us or you in jail.....
