"Passing Wind" was docked next to me in St. Thomas in the mid-80s.
She was a 35 or so sailboat and they hailed from the Great Lakes.
Nice people, we spent some time together, not passing wind, but drinking good rum and telling stories.

Nah, if he has wet dreams on speed boats, why change a thing...

There is great potential for good names of yachts and their shadow boats, like Tom and Jerry, Laurrel and Hardy etc.  | |

three i can think of... FIGJAM (Fark I'm Good, Just Ask Me) on a hardcore Ocean battlewagon out at Block Island in the early 1980's; Tie-One-On for a tender being towed down the Mystic River; Poco Mas ("A little more") on a 75' Huckins in Greenwich a few years ago.

| Boat names
My first boat was a 10' sailing dink. I spent summers sailing on the vineyard and aptly named her "Shark Bait". Tied in with the locale considering they had shot Jaws there only a few years earlier.

Atlantis Yachts on River Rd Delta B.C. built a cat a few years back called "Sea Pussy".  | |

A fellow I know named his first boat "Halcyon" envisioning beautiful days cruising calm seas and a perfect life. That boat went through a full bank of batteries, 6 starters, 7 selenoids, umpteen injectors, and an entire new fuel system in 2 years. She generally had to be shut down by choking her off, and starting was always worth a bet. The yard that replaced the fuel system forgot to open the rear tanks which brought on an interesting situation coming through a lock on the trip home, and then there was the nor'easter off Nantauket. That's just a small piece of the list. His new boat is more appropriately named, but runs great and has brought along many halcyon days. It doesn't pay to tempt fate.

Three fishers from Newfoundland, "On Business", "Escapade" and "Moral Support"
I saw a vessel registered in Portsmouth, named "Little Flicka" Hope they were talking about the horse.
Then there is a Silverton from Washington DC named "Bare Necessity"

| Rasselas
Please add mine to this list. It is a far cry from the real RASSELAS but it is my RASSELAS.
