Help name our boat

[rubytue]

H is finalizing the boat purchase today. Yay! And eeeek!! We had it surveyed and ended up getting about 5% knocked off the asking plus we got the seller to throw in the trailer. The trailer is worth more than the discount, so this is a really good thing. If all goes as planned, we bring her home this weekend!

Me - I'm in conference hell. But I'm up way to early and killing time this morning before I can eat breakfast and get ready. So I'm just checking in. Won't be around much today - so discuss amongst yourself lol

We are renaming the boat. That is for sure. Its named after the owner's wife. Not a name we like. For those on the app, there is a poll. Here are the options:

RubyTue - Because I name everything RubyTue. Stupid restaurant ruined the music reference

Paloma - Dove in Spanish. Also, my favorite song. Lyrics: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/carbonleaf/paloma.html

Cheaper than Daycare - what we tell people when they seemed surprised we are buying a boat this size

Sparky's OT - H is an electrician, Sparky is the generic construction site name for the electricians ("hey Sparky, there is a short over there). And this is what his overtime pays for

DINKmobile - H likes the DINK thing. I think its a bit too in-your-face

Crape Diem - Seize the fish. Except we don't really fish for crape up here.

Lorelei - Feminine water spirit, also a Pougues song

And I can think of a bazillion more songs that I would consider. But Paloma, Lorelei, and Ruby Tuesday are my favorites. Farmhouse doesn't work for a boat lol And I'm not pulling a good name from Springsteen.

Don't forget to do the renaming ceremony!

The boat I used to sail on in the Chesapeake was renamed and they forgot. After many problems, they went back and did the proper ceremony. Not a problem since.

I joke to DH that if we ever get a boat we're naming it "Her Money"

Ooh. Rosalita. Tempting. But not our fave. We've been know to take Rosy and they key to leave and beat the rush out. #badfans

And drat. I can't see the poll results on my phone.

We have a 32' Carver Convertible. We named it SpiderFarm. If you're a boater you'll understand that. We get tons of comments, especially from women. Pick the name you like the best but you might want to remember you don't want a name that sounds stupid when hailing on the radio.

We actually chose our boat name because not long after we bought it we were walking down our dock one Friday night and it was spider webs from dock pole to dock pole. I said "This is a damn Spider Farm!' the kids loved it, DH didn't but we got to choose 'cause he named the first boat and the kids and we didn't like the name he chose.

The boat we share our dock with is Hawaii. They'd boated for many years but he'd always promised her a trip to Hawaii until he found this particular boat. So the money for her trip went in to the new boat and it became Hawaii.
