More name game
Boat names are the low hanging fruit of the boat writing craft. As we've discussed, if you google funny boat names, you'll get an avalanche of scandalous puns like Sand Witch, Ships 'n' Giggles and Comedy of Airs. It's the place to go when the inspirational tank's a bit dry.
BUT, in reality it's not so easy to come up with a boat name as I was recently reminded by a contest announcement from Gone Sailing Adventures (see below.) The prizes are nifty and boat names continue as a super-favorite topic so we are intrigued to hear from you and to see where your imagination takes you in naming your boat and theirs. Share your boat names via our Inbox address right below.
