True story – the name of our boat came from a winery in California.  I was on my way to New Zealand with a friend in 2008 with a layover in LA.  We drove up to Santa Barbara for the day and came across a tasting room for the Kalyra winery.  http://www.kalyrawinery.com/  The name Kalyra is an aboriginal word that means ‘wild and beautiful place’ – or that’s how I remembered it.  I called Trip from the airport and told him it sounded like it might make a good boat name.

 

Fast forward to 2009 and we had moved in together, bought a boat, and surprise – named her Kalyra.

Fast forward to a month ago when we realized that we needed to suspend our Kalyra wine delivery service.  Our final shipment included a complimentary bottle of bubbly and this thoughtful note…#ilovekalyra #kalyrawinery
