Outside Atlanta (where I used to live) we were picnicing at a lake and this boat goes flying by pulling the largest person I'd ever seen on water skiis, they were just plowing through the water...behind the "Who's Yer Daddy" boat... :lmao:

It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!

Linda, it is in Boynton.  There are also organizations with that name in the UK and in Seattle.

Walter, thanks. Actually I dove the Starfish Enterprise in Seattle too. It was a very nice dive and the water was no colder then it was in California given the time of year.
Happy Diving
Linda

Met a guy out of Portmouth, NH in his late forties - early fifties who just got divorced 2 years ago. He sold everything, moved to Portsmouth, bought a boat and started a company providing charters for fishing and diving trips. His ex-wife hated his passion for fishing and diving. Her name is Ann. He named the boat Ugly Annie. I love that.

No offense to any women on the board named Ann. :cool2: :teeth:

I was in Nebraska and saw a boat named "Hooser Daddy", but my favorite was on a lake here in Texas on a boat driven by an attractive blond who was obviously recently divorced and had named her boat "Was His" Kind of says it all.

We have a boat over here named "Wet Dreams" for those that like the dirty names.
My buddy has a fishing/dive boat named "Reel Music" that is what we call the buzzing sound you get when a big fish strikes.

I am in the process of raising a boat I found at 180' I am trying to think of a unique name for that aludes to the fact that is a boat that has been diveing.
The one I like the best so far is "Benthic Explorer" but any suggestions are welcome.

Actually my favorite name for a boat is simply 'Diver Down'. It says it all to me!  :wakawaka:

Yea, I like dirty boat names also! :teeth:

Knew a lady in San Antonio who named her boat Alimony. Said her ex wasn't too fond of her renaming his old boat.

That's OK ... renaming a boat is bad luck and it'd serve her right.

Can't be any worse luck than during its first existence. Afterall...it caused a divorce! :wakawaka:
