[bolger] Re: Dovekie - explained

Per Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary

Dove.kie - (I can't reproduce the pronunciation symbols but it is more
or less 'duv key') noun [diminuative of Dove] a short-billed auk
(Plautus alle) breeding on arctic coasts and ranging south in winter.

in the Halloween YC mooring area as recently as Sunday morning.)

Tim,
As you probably know already, the Dovekie is a small bird that nests
on the rocks in New England and further north. I saw one in Harwich
last fall (blown in by a hurricane, I guess). The bird is kind of
cute. Kind of like a Puffin without the colored bill, and a better
swimmer.

List,

Is that pronounced Dove + Key or
dough + veck + ee ?

Would never buy a boat that I could not pronounce the name of. I would also
never end a sentence with a preposition!

I see that there is a Dovekie offered on eBay, presently at $3500.
Write the check and take it away - a true instant boat.
