Literally just last week I told Sheri that if we ever get a boat I would like to name it either "Beagle", or maybe "Beagle II" out of respect for the original. Today I find out that the British launched a space craft in June to Mars named Beagle II.

Well, since their Beagle II is not a water craft I guess I could still use it. I certainly don't like the sound of "Beagle III". Also, I can't be the first person to ever think of this, so there has to be at least hundreds of other boats also named Beagle and Beagle II.
