Masala Chai because SWMBON and I met in India so a reference to spice and the indian tea is also a play on words for her home port: Chichester - Chi.

New tub is "Ty-Phoo" - complete with two ty-phoo mugs. I don't know why. General plan is to change the name next time we have her ashore.

She's a countess, so I wanted to re-name her Gravine or even possibly Margravine (cos we're near the Welsh Marches you see) but haven't taken the plunge yet. Danger of course is that she'll instantly be margerine. Brother reckons "that's a s**t name", but then he suggested Lady Erica (grandpa Eric popped 'is clogs this year y'see) but I just think it's a bit....hmmm.

Downsides - a bit long
Upsides - resonably unusual

Any other Margravines out there?
