Parents should never see their children go away.  Naming the ship like H's daughter is a tribute.
Well done. G. very touching

[Aetas]

Absolutely Essential!
What a beatifying name for the boat, …responding to your connection to the Haraki!!!

SAKURA

That makes me so happy G.

My favorite teppanyaki restaurant as a boy was Sakura in Jackson, MS. It was always so special to go there. So I have a warm association with the term myself and warmer now.

Beautiful choice for the name, G&P.

Very impressive and I am amazed at how clean the boat and working area is.  I have more questions but will wait to ask you…

Yeah, we saw one in the harbour the night before we went to the factory.  I will admit to saying very loud and very slowly,
"HOLY FUCK"….
