So what's with this?

Took a photo of some brown pelicans on some posts at a wharf for the hell of it the other day. Behind the pelicans was a boat yard. Then I noticed one sailboat with something growing on it. Bet the boat yard storage fee would be more than the boat is worth....either that or the owner has a new hobby and is so rich he doesn't care that his cockpit has something growing in it.

A SEAWEED perhaps
Kairos (καιρός) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature.
Kairos (καιρός) also means weather in both ancient and modern Greek. The plural, καιροι (kairoi or keri) means the times.

That's interesting to know about the name, Duncan. Maybe it was sunk some place, maybe a few years ago in Katrina, and ended up being recovered to the extent that it ended up in that boat yard.
