It isn't "Passing Wind" is it? That's always
been one of the worst boat names I've ever seen...


I heard of "Dry Reaching" recently which is so
bad it's almost a good one.


Sailboat used to moor in front of friend in Two
Harbors Catalina and frequented by much eye candy
... Blow Boat


Seen on the ericsonyachts.org site, about an E-25
re-bottoming for a lake in Texas, included a photo
of *another* E-25 named... "Blow Me". The VHF call
would be, well, rather amusing.

Mine? "Bob's Around", named for my dad who passed
away back in 2003... and who got me interested in
bending wind (like a sailor) rather than breaking
it (like a powerboater).
