Here is an update from Rob.
Rob says he had picked out the name a long time ago, but the rest of the family objected thinking it too "boring" a name.
Well, I think it’s a great name Rob and very apt. For what it is worth, none of my lot liked ‘Arwen’ as a name but.....well she is 'Arwen'......a goddess of the sea and I just cannot think of her being named anything else. I look at her and I see her soul......she is and always will be 'Arwen' to me. Sometimes people just don’t understand the sentiments behind a name do they?

“Well, I've named my Navigator "Islander," after the 37-foot yawl Harry Pidgeon, until then a non-sailor, built only a stone's throw away from my launch site in LA Harbor almost 100 years ago and then sailed solo around the world - twice. He was the second person to do so, the first being Joshua Slocum. Another reason for the name is my principal sailing destination across the San Pedro Channel - Catalina Island”.
