Ahoy!!

 ORMOND BEACH, FL - - There is a lot of traffic on the Halifax River in the Fall and Spring.  Folks heading to (or from) spending their winters in South Florida or maybe the Caribbean.  Sometimes,  the 'boat' is grand enough that you really wonder who owns it.
     In this case a Google search turned up some interesting info on the S.S. Sophie. This 80' Trumpy Motor Yacht was built in 1947.  It is all wood, diesel-powered and has a 19' beam.  Home base is in the Chesapeake Bay area and it can be found in the Clearwater (FL) area in the winter.
  S.S. normally stands for 'steam ship' in nautical-speak.  In this case it refers to a (deceased) Springer Spaniel named Sophie, a favorite of the yacht's owner Greta Van Susteren (Fox News, On the Record host) and husband John Coale, a Washington lawyer.
