I was just joking. However, it does amaze me that Wet Dream is the FIFTH MOST POPULAR BOAT NAME in the U.S. That's shocking to me. No wonder everybody hates Americans. We're disgusting.

Not that I would want this thread to swing back on topic, but. My boat didn't have a name when I got her. She has CF #s. It took me all of about two hours to come up with "Platano Grande". It certainly fits, it could be taken in more than one way(Big Banana, get it?,,yuk yuk), and first and formost, it comes through on the VHF very clearly. What's even better, I ran a search and found NOT ONE other Platano Grande.
OK, this thread is offially back O/T,,, carry on.........

If one is superstitious about renaming a boat, choose the new name fit well behind the word MAYDAY. Something like "Sinking Feeling" maybe?

The Sea Gods should accept that without a ritual.
