I’m nowhere near a captain so lets get this straight. I did have an imaginary boat named the BEE PACIFIC. In my dreams. My fun ended when they were actually going to hire the BEE PACIFIC for money, I bowed out cos they were not specific enough in the pacific. When I walk the docks I get a kick out of the boats names. Some are quite hilairous. Funnier than mine. In my dreams. If I had a boat I would christened her “whatshername”? Give it up? Edited to add: Age/Make/Style ---
