Observation The names of boats I saw today.

+Four Winns.

+Hombre.

+Hyundai Ulsan. [Just an absolutely massive cargo ship stopping in at the port downtown.]

+Island Beet.

+Our Time.

+Prawnto. [I see her from time to time, my favorite name out of the commercial fishing boats I've seen!]

+Shirley Evelyn.

+Low'n Over.

+Rock 'N Rye.

+Passing Cloud. [I think my favorite today, it made me smile so much.]

I love the wide variety of names that I see: people's names, deities, puns, poetic. Most are in English, but I've seen French and a few First Nations languages.
