 Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be BotheredActually there's more than 8ft.... it's just that its no longer attached to the boat, just dumped in the hold as ballast

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered Just occurred to me...

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered slightly off, but it IS the name of a boat.....
A few decades ago, a yacht in LLoyds Register named "Where The Fug Are We" |

Crikey, perhaps I've chosen the wrong name then with 13 letters...  Last edited by KMB on Tue Oct 13, 2009 1:53 pm, edited 1 time in total. |

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered Quote: Just as well you don't moor at Bow Locks then. I actually saw a boat named Bow Locks for sale at Harral Brokerage just after christmas. I was tempted to make an offer but someone else beat me to it! |

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered Yes we have seen Bow Locks out and about probably a couple of years ago. My daughter could not believe her eyes.

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered From what I heard from harral brokerage sadly the couple that owned it had it repossessed. Which is why it was for sale at a low price!

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered [/quote]
I've often been told I'm a very good poof reader! [/quote] Is it something to do with the way you walk? We named our last boat 'Batto' because I was a French master and it was a boat. Our current one we called 'Trojan' for a couple of reasons: she has a livery based on the tugs of Chance & Hunt of Oldbury which were named 'Stentor' and 'Hector' (from memory) so it perpetuates the ancient Greek theme. Also, at the time when she was built I was doing a lot of work for Trojan records, a reggae music record label. That's why instead of the eye of Osiris she has a Trojan helmet motif, which is the logo of Trojan Records. |

Re: Boat Names - Inspired or Just Couldn't Be Bothered Ours is called 'Kindred Spirits'
Definition is.. a person who shares beliefs, attitudes, feelings, or features with another. My wife and I have been together since our junior school days . It seemed quite appropriate for us. steveyt12393 |
