Where did you see my photo? As long as it is a Canadian beer that has alcohol in it.

Actually I noticed you were from Georgian Bay, I was thinking of taking my son up to Tobermory for a little dive / camp trip this summer. Maybe I can float it over to you....... (the beer, not my son).......On second thought, we will see how he does first, maybe Ill need the beer, and float the boy.
You not going to get wet then? I used to take students up there a lot back in the days when I worked as a dive Instructor, the water is even more crystal clear now thanks to the zebra mussels, though the wrecks have quite a lot of growth... Funny that, back in the day you couldn't see them because it was so dark... now the sun gets down there as the water is clean, you still can't see them because of the mussels.
I feel I have earned the 'warm water wimp' badge and I only dive in tropical waters.

I had a 35 ft 1956 Chris Craft years ago. I wanted to call it "My Phat Dingy", but it didn't fly with my Fiance. I found it funny, but not she did not.
My '75 Tri-Cabin's the 'Di Anne Marie'. Political move on my part to win my wife's buy-in on getting the boat. Took her 1st name, made 2 words out of it, & used her middle name. The acronym is DAM, so that makes it my DAM boat!
"Time Warp"......name when I got her. We were going to change it but after considerable consideration we decided to keep it as is.......old boat totally refitted to 2000 standards. Decided the name was appropriate...........
My son name our boat at the time. It is now his boat. I have retired.
He liked the name and all the possibillities he could come up about it. For instance. Nothing like riding a Trojan. Wider is better etc.
WEEKEND HOOKER
We have a woman on a fishhook in the middle. We both love to fish so that is why the name.

I wanted to name our Trojan "The Big Johnson", but my wife would have none of that ... so its "Viva Mahia" = Celebrate the Mahi.
Our 26 is "Mack Attack", sinc e use it to catch Spanish and King Mackeral.
The 18 is "T-Topless", as its our bbiz boat to show off our main product.
My wife's 14 McKee is "Mud Puppy", since it stays mostly in the creeks.
We sold the "Rubber neck", a 14 skiiff about 3 years ago ...
names, names, names ....
There was a 65' sport fisher in the harbor for the South Carolina harleston Governor's Cup fishing tournament last year - name "Size Matters". I thought it was tacky until I found out a woman owned/fished it ...

Yes, I have been trying to sell. There are just too many good deals out there right now so I am working on a deal for a 42 Bertram that is a bank repo but I need to move mine first.

I used to backpack through the Appalachians a lot, and perspire even more, and one day someone asked me about it and I replied from somewhere out of the blue that "My wetness is my wonder." That became my trial name from then on, shortened afterwards to "Wet Wonder" (all backpackes/hikers have a trail name, which you are known as while hiking). The name seemed to fit for the boat.
