Clever boat names
I've always thought it would be fun to name a boat like:
Charleston Police Department or Federal Bureau of Investigation or Coast Guard Group Charleston or Drug Enforcement Administration or Internal Revenue Service or USS Eisenhower or Frying Pan Shoals Light or United Flight 232 creating real havoc on VHF wherever you sailed.....(c; If I have to call the Coasties for some non-emergency reason like reporting a floating container or other massive hazard dumped off some ship, I call them with their OFFICIAL FCC CALLSIGN and mine, creating more real havoc as the idiot on watch rarely recognizes his station by his OFFICIAL FCC CALLSIGN. Not getting an answer, I switch to the CB handles like "Coast Guard Group Charleston", which he answers to immediately, so I can INFORM and TRAIN their watchstanders as to their OFFICIAL FCC CALLSIGN when I ask him why he didn't respond when I called him at first....(c; I still use our callsign, in any event. Maybe we should put: WDB 6254 on the stern of her, which seems to create its own havoc on VHF or: 366920680 her new MMSI for the DSC/GMDSS radios. That way if you wanted to call me on HF or VHF, you could see our MMSI on the stern where "Lionheart" used to be....(c; Might be fun to have those made up into flags I could fly, proudly, from the mainmast or have sewn into the new mainsail instead of the hull number, which is useless. Great big WDB 6254, 8' high on the main.... Of course, we COULD use Morse on 2182.....(c; All in good fun, don'tcha know.
