Shipshape names

I've really enjoyed walking the docks in the harbor and checking out all of the boats. It's even nice to stroll in the rain (which it does a lot here) and just enjoy the marine air. I just love how all of the boats have their own unique names. Here are a few which I rather liked:

Like, I'm so sure. Whatever!

This one doesn't leave the harbor much, since it's neverready.

Eat your heart out Ms. Carey.

This is Per Nolan's boat, Terminal Harvester. He hosted Peter Jenkins while he was writing the Cordova chapter in his excellent book, Looking for Alaska.

This is where you end up when you haven't caught any fish for a while.

Don't mess with this boat!

This one was named after my little sister.

This boat is electrifying!

Oh my darlin', oh my darlin'...

If you're aboard the Zwerver you get fresh fish AND fresh salad!
This captain is a fan of Olivia Newton-John and ELO.

Intimidating!

This is the local mobile cosmetic surgery center.

By the looks of this one maybe they should consider renaming it unsound developer.

They have a hard time keeping this one tied to the dock.

And finally the Gnarly Macho! What more can I say?
