Re: Names for your boats
Jeepster...Because its the name that was already painted down the sides of the boat when I bought it!
I think its a reference to the 4x4 off road vehicle interest of a previous owner.
One of my Nieces has suggested I change the name but I said its its bad luck to change the name of a boat.

Re: Names for your boats
"Smokey Joe" was named after a greasy spoon I often frequented (in the Strand) and prompted by previous Albatross Continental called Curley Joe (it came with that name)
"ShyTalk" our race boat = so called, because the seagulls in Torbay liked it "a lot"
Then several boats called "Finale" - beacause they were always going to be the last one! ( according to "she you must be obeyed"!! - ( I expect many of you know that feeling)
Solitaire - obviously because it's a Glastron and the "Live and Let Die" conection - (I always fancied Jane Seymoure!)
and now the little DS2 utility, will keep DS2 - in memory of Donald Simmonds plus the name "hippy days" - because I have a pair of precious metal and ceramic hip joints and big fan of the Fonz (Happy Days - for our younger viewers)

Re: Names for your boats
Delta number one is called Deltina
Number two, Coralta
Both because they are half Delta and half Ford Cortina
Shame I dont have the time to run them any more. May be looking at a sale of one or possibly both in the near future. Sad but thats boating for you.
