So, does anyone have any OPFAC names that would be really embarrassing to the Coast Guard? Anyone ever had an offer for use declined because of the boat name?

As someone commented on CapTalk, our volunteers are people who observe boundries. Every time I name a boat, I try to imagine what the name would look like on an accident report. There are some far out names around here, some that are even marginally obscene. None of them belong to Auxiliarists. I think the only one I have seen that I would even consider is "Sea Deuce."

So, a cigarette boat named Reefer Runner would be a bad idea?

Anyone seen embarrassing names on recreational vessels?

Not really...unless the Dive Charter boat in my local area named Wet Dream would be considered in bad taste...

We have one in the area that's named CHICKEN SHIP.

Here are some "different" boat names:

I sewed a 12 x 15 Auxiliary Ensign to a piece of white sail cloth and attached 6 snaps all around rectangle of sail cloth. Then I snap to transom hatch cover, this enables me to cover up my vessel's name when on Patrol orders.

In my Division we have an AUXFAC, owned by a female member, named "Insatiable I". It has been an AUXFAC for about 10 years.

That's only embarrassing for those of us who are fans of Marilyn Chambers.

Wow, has she changed in the last twenty-seven years. Oh, well, I guess I have too. Time to go to the civilian Blazer uniform.

I, for one, don't cotton to that pornographic stuff. Hell, I don't even have a pornograph to play them on!

I know, I know, it's an old pun, but I like puns. . .

Getting back to the original thread:

In the same division as "Insatiable I" is a PWC OPFAC named "Passin Wind"

Does anyone think that DIRAUX staff cares about being embarrassed.

That's not what I heard, GeeJay. I have it from very reliable sources that you subscribe to PlayPug Magazine!

You could have at least used the picture from Pauli's website -- www.pauligirl.com
