Back in the '70s when I was a kid crewing for my dad on his salmon troller out of Pacific City, Oregon, we had a friend who named his boat, "Crack Of Dawn." I don't have to tell you what his wife's name was, do I?

I may have posted about this elsewhere, but in the 70's one of my dad's friends was a general contractor that had a really nice stinkpotter (if you like that sort of thing) - a 58 foot Hatteras. The name of the boat was Change Orders.
My wife came up with "dunno" I mentioned to her what if we get in trouble and have to call the coast guards , The the guards would be asking the name of our vessel then we have to say " I dunno?" .
so we went "Karyon" instead, as we are just carrying on with our business.

Ha, that's cute, but "nailed it" feels a bit close to the bone.
I might have insisted on one more guideline...

Now, the Admiral is one fine lady, but tell me, has she been hangin' round any rock legends lately? Maybe singing little songs like, "Y o u 're m y b l u e - s k y y o u 're m y S U N N Y d a y"? Or maybe talking like, "We tied off to the whippin' post", when you know she meant dock piling?
Haaardy haaar haar! - I like your choice!
