I found this on wikipedia... "The following excerpt from Star Trek Guide (April 
17, 1967, p. 25) instructs writers for the original Star Trek TV series on how 
to select stardates for their scripts:[3]"We invented "Stardate" to avoid 
continually mentioning Star Trek's century (actually, about two hundred years 
from now), and getting into arguments about whether this or that would have 
developed by then. Pick any combination of four numbers plus a percentage 
point, use it as your story's stardate. For example, 1313.5 is twelve o'clock 
noon of one day and 1314.5 would be noon of the next day. Each percentage point 
is roughly equivalent to one-tenth of one day. The progression of stardates in 
your script should remain constant but don't worry about whether or not there 
is a progression from other scripts. Stardates are a mathematical formula which 
varies depending on location in the galaxy, velocity of travel, and other 
factors, can vary widely from episode to episode. DannyLolita1973 Viking

Hey Edd,
I was 12 years old when Star Trek, originally aired.  It really was ground 
breaking with a diverse crew at a time when civil rights was great bunch of 
characters and the women were always dreamy vixens.  Really liked the Next 
Generation where Patrick Stewart played Jean Luc Picard like he was Hornblower, 
another icon of sailing.   And the women were even more amazing.  Enterprise 
was upgraded too.
 
One thing I never figured out and wanted to ask somebody;  Is there any logic 
in the "Captain's Star Date" numbers?

Subject: Stus-List  Now Boat Names

As you may have guessed, my boat's name is based on a Lucille Ball / Desi 
Arnez-produced 1960&rsquo;s failed train-wreck NBC television series . . . . . 
. which led to highly-rated syndication, five spin-off television series and 12 
feature films, not to mention decades and decades of merchandising dollars for 
Paramount/Viacom.  For me, though, the Starship Enterprise was an &ldquo;escape 
vehicle&rdquo; &mdash; when I got home from grade school in the 70s, I could 
leave all the pressures and troubles behind, turn on WPIX channel 11, and 
I&rsquo;ll be exploring the final frontier&rsquo;s strange new worlds, seeking 
out new life and new civilizations . . . In 1980, I bought my first sailboat, 
an O&rsquo;Day 7-11 sailing dinghy, pretty much right after the release of The 
Motion Picture, a wholly lousy film on may levels, except for the Enterprise 
itself. Once again, I felt my imagination was able to escape the day-to-day 
life in suburbia. There could be no other name. The sailboat had to be named 
Enterprise.  When I turned 18, after I got the whole &ldquo;you&rsquo;re a man 
now&rdquo; speech from my father, I aptly decided to cut school to see the 
third movie with some friends for my birthday, and got the worst birthday 
present ever &mdash; the Enterprise exploded from self-destruct over Planet 
Genesis. My escape vehicle was gone. Adulthood slapped me in the face - hard. 
Fortunately, a couple of years later, I went to see the fourth feature film - a 
time-travel story to rescue humpback whales from 20th-Century earth. At the 
very end, Kirk and crew were delivered to a brand new Enterprise with a hull 
number of NCC-1701-A. The escape vehicle was back and my imagination could, one 
again, boldly go. Since then, we have seen several future versions of the famed 
starship; 1701-B, 1701-C, 1701-D, 1701-E and even a brief glimpse of the 
1701-J.  So, like the series, I decided that all of my future vessels will also 
carry the name Enterprise, and I&rsquo;ll have my very own escape vehicle to 
get away from the pressure of work and life while exploring LI Sound and the 
surrounding areas.  As I tell my crew, when sailing on the Enterprise, we have 
one Prime Directive &mdash; Wherever we go, we go boldly. All the best, Edd Edd

I once raced on Lake St. Clair, Michigan, 1977 or 78, against a boat named 
Fujimo and we T-boned her on a crossing tack in about 25 knots of air.  The 
helmsman, a nationally ranked Finn sailor could not release the main and the 
rudder would not respond in time.  We put about a 2 ft diameter hole in her 
stern quarter and knocked a crew member overboard.  Lots of colorful language 
and an interesting protest meeting.  Our damage was limited to a bent bow 
pulpit.  We were sailing an Erickson 37 named Gold Bug.
 
My boat, formerly Spirit now 'Ashe is a Yoruba expression for we get it done.  
I am not a scholar of things African, but my mentor, Robert Thompson, was a

feudal halls of Yale when he was a Master of a college.
