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’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 “escape
vehicle” — 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’ll be exploring the final frontier’s strange new worlds, seeking
out new life and new civilizations . . . In 1980, I bought my first sailboat,
an O’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 “you’re a man
now” 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 — 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’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 — 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
