My previous boat was named Sweet Dream when I got her. I didn't care for the name but never changed it. My crew wanted to name the dinghy Wet Dream, and occasionally used that call sign on VHF 13. My "new" boat, Starfire, was named by the original owner around 1985. I suspect it was named after a comic strip with a scantily clad heroine from the time, but the owner who named it wouldn't admit that. Bill Hall 1985 C&C 37 Starfire Ludington, MI
