It's documented. If you ever wonder, the database is searchable online:Wifey B: Is it documented? My guess is not.
Wifey B: I love the F word, not as teacher me but as wild and crazy me and fun me, but....
I'm shocked the CG let that go through. That's like people who sneak things through on license plates but when the state wakes up and realizes, they're told to turn the plate in.
I certainly would avoid being seen on, or socializing with, a boat with that name.
Well, yeah, but you're not likely their target demographic either.
"This is US Coast Guard. Are you in need of assistance, please say your vessel name?"
... don't use Gaelic...
In my opinion, an excellent way to vet a vessel's name.Every vessel I have named, in my head I went "Mayday, Mayday, Mayday this is vessel XXX......"
Don't use profanity, don't use Gaelic...
I would not only not be seen on that boat, or say its name if the boat were sinking and I had to make a radio call, I wouldn't have anything to do with whoever owns that thing either. It's a reflection of somebody with zero class or grace or character or consideration for others. It's not funny, it's not amusing, and if that boat were at my marina, my wife and kids would have to walk past it. Nope. Like my mother used to say, money can't buy class.
Another unfortunate boat name I saw in a boatyard. Pretty boat, pretty name, but the meaning changed:
Isis
Could make for some uncomfortable moments on the radio.
Yeah, my guess is the USCG is too short staffed to go through the time and trouble to deny a name that violates the regulations.
I am a bit of an anomaly. I don’t use profanity and discourage its use around me. I certainly would avoid being seen on, or socializing with, a boat with that name.
It’s not profanity, instead it is obscenity. Profanity is taking the Lords Name in vain, obscenity is referring to bodily functions like defecation or sex. I use obscenity all the time, but I try to avoid profanity.
