Default Newsgroup poll #2

8 years ago I asked the rec.boats newsgroup to help name my retail store
outlet and I picked "Buoys & Toys" which I thought was a pretty cool
play on words at the time. In reality most people don't get it or don't
know what we actually sell (some even think it's a gay Adult Novelty
store lol)

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?

If I don't get something catchy soon, I'm gonna have to go with "General
Store" as a cop out this time around.

I'll save someone the first easy one - I'm not naming it Booze n Boats. :-)

The floor is yours....

You trusted a group of anonymous internet bozos to name your store last
time, and they came up with "buoys and toys", and now you're asking the same
group of bozos again?? Good luck :-)

used. ;-)
