Elle:

You said,"There is still plenty of room in the cockpit for at least 20 of my
closest friends! "
Another squirrel fanatic on the list?

Are you realing going to put that name on the side of a good boat.  I can
hear it now at the draw bridge, Watermjusic number two in line.  Reply, turn
up the volume it it will about 15 minutes...

After seeing that chair, I would think 'High Sea' would be more appropriate.

Think nautical
