I've been racking my brain for months for a name for my boat. It gets kind of embarrassing when you use the radio and can't call out the name of your vessel. Or when you go to pay for moorage and have to give your boat's registry numbers instead of name. The only name I've seriously considered giving her is "Whiplash". Or perhaps "Rogue Wave". We saw some nasty waters over the summer.

Call it "Unthinkable"

radio conversation might go something like this

you: "NYPA come in, this is Unthinkable"
NYPA:"Titanic?"
