Boats should be named after women or virtues.
Not necessarily virtuous women.
"And, just in case you’re wondering why white, black and green boats are considered unlucky, white resembles the churning surf, a whirlpool, crashing waves and the clouds in the sky. Black and green represent land. Needless to say, you wouldn’t want your boat in any of these situations."
guys who write stuff like this.....make bad names for guys that actually know something and write for boating mags....
when I get to a sentence like this I stop and move on.....
One of the funniest radio transmissions I have heard was from MV Sitting Duck a 40 something footer agound on a shoal off Shell Point between Ft. Myers and Sanibel the water was were crowded and the skipper was issuing Securite calls warning folks to slow down something like this "This is the Sittting Duck aground off Shell Point please slow down and watch your wakes as you pass" over and over. There is always lots of fast traffic there so he had a miserable time of it.
Mine is Searious....after the Sirius star of course...
I picked Seaweed, because she grows on you... and Algae is the dinghy. If I ever get a kayak I'll all it Kelp. Or a lapstrake dink will be Plankton. But for now it's just Algae and that suits us fine.
I enjoy some boat names:
Wandering Star and (the dink) Asteroid
Job Site was a center console fishing boat
