As subject really.
We are hoping to buy a river cruiser. The one we’ve seen has a name that is personal to the current owners. We can change the name but we’re not sure what to change it to, we’re not very creative I’m afraid.

I’d probably name it after one of my childhood pets, or a plant I like

Yes, that was my first thought too!

Op, it's actually considered bad luck to rename a boat, at least without an offering to the sea and wind gods.

Did you just assume the gender of a boat!!

Don’t you know they refer to themselves as calm/stormy Angry

Our canoe is called The Yacht.

So we can say we are going out in The Yacht this weekend.

Dignity. You can sail her up the west coast through villages and towns.

If I see it sailing up river by the stern first with its prow hanging out the back, I shall assume it’s a submarine.
