I definitely think that - for sure. This was *Howard’s* boat, not Anna’s. (Heh heh, too bad for him that he can’t operate it himself.)
With only one boat, the naming of that first one has to be “pregnant” with meaning and lots of hope for bright tidings in the future.
You could tell that every little thing they did was on the premise that they believed they would be wealthy beyond imagination “some day.” And that Koch stock was the only thing standing in the way, from their POV.
We don’t know that Howard can’t operate it. It’s really not that big of a boat. What he wouldn’t be able to do is outrun the Coast Guard. :-)
