Default Newsgroup poll #2 - revised spec

I am once again turning to my friends (old and new) in this newsgroup to
help me rename the store to something that is unique and descriptive,
that also reflects the stock change from strictly marine to marine
supplies, Liquor, beer, and convenience items (milk, bread butter etc)
Let's have some fun with this and see if we can't pull a rabbit out of a
hat in the process. Any names you've seen at other marinas you thought
worked well too?


I should have told you guys/gals this is for the store only. We have a
separate marina building on the water for service, and a separate sales
location on the highway 7 miles away for boat/motor sales. In other
words, no need to include 'boats' in the description. The name is for
the store only and the "Brown's Marina" part will be listed on the sign
above the name I eventually choose.

Here's a more detailed list of items being sold:

Pop, mixes (clamato, OJ etc), chips, chocolate bars, cigars, cigarettes
Milk, bread, eggs, bacon, etc
Fishing tackle & worms
Marine supplies (life jackets, fenders, ropes, safety equipment etc)
Liquor, wine, beer
T-shirts/souvenirs
Water toys (skis, inflated towables, wakeboards, kneeboards etc)

Many thanks to those who have contributed already, I hope this new list
helps the focus a bit.

I've already gotten my money's worth on some of the humour already. ;-)

I'm hoping that elusive really catchy name is out there somewhere and
would consider a prize to the one who nails it for me. :-)
