Halcyon Days
It should come as no surprise that “Halcyon” is among
the most popular boat names, gracing the sterns of
everything from the smallest day-sailer to the largest
yacht. The name comes from a Greek legend about the
daughter of Aeolus, god of the winds, who was so upset
at the loss of her husband m a shipwreck that she threw
herself into the sea. According to
she was transformed into a king
fisher, called alkyon or halkyon by
the Greeks. Around the time of the
winter solstice, the bird built its
floating nest of sticks and bone;
upon the seas, and the wind wi
charmed into a period of tranqui
for about two weeks, so that the eggs could be safely
incubated. This peaceful time, known as Halcyon Days,
is what we wish you throughout the holidays.
Wesh all get no rest till we get to sea.
