What's the purpose of claiming a home port that's not "home"?


As far as the Coast Guard cares about, the HomePort+BoatName just has to
be unique. For Instance, they've probably got a thousand boats named
Destiny, but each one has a different home port.

We chose to register our boat with the home port of San Francisco, even
though we lived 70 miles north of there and the boat was moored in
Bodega Bay simply because as we traveled to various places around the
world, everyone would recognize San Francisco, but how many would have
heard of either Bodega Bay or Healdsburg, let alone know where they
might be?

Bodega Bay? How could anybody *not* recognize Bodega Bay, after poor
Tippi Hedrin had all that trouble there? ;-)

And by the way, Dan, do you have any idea what these plants are?

Dale,

I'm afraid to say that very few of the people in the places we visited
in the last 2 years ever saw the flick.

As far as the photo, I think the technical term for those plants is
"some kind of weird flower" (as you can probably guess, I'm
horticulturally challenged).

The name that comes to my mind is "red hot poker plant"
