Despite its longstanding use in maritime history, I was warned early on to never name a boat a woman’s name. For example, someone I knew named his boat after his girlfriend Diana, and was then prompted over the season by his boating buddies with the following questions:
"How many men can Diana take?" "How wide is Diana?" "Can you sleep on Diana?" "Is Diana fast?" "Can Diana handle a good blow?" "How far can Diana go?" "Is Diana hard to control?" "Is it difficult to get Diana out of a slip?" "Is Diana overheating?" "Will you loan Diana to a friend?" and, my favorite, "Will you put Diana on the hard this winter or keep her wet?"

Significant Other will be stricken from Poseidon's records, and I will ask him to watch over all that sail on Rebecca Leah (after my daughters) from here on out. My daughter's will be at the ceremony and then a nice sail out on Puget Sound. I hope I haven't jinxed everything by posting this early. Just had the denaming ceremony. Lots of champagne both for us and the gods.
