Charlie, no man would ever be that stupid, surely?

Many years ago I worked for a towing company on the Thames, and we were contracted to tow a very old houseboat to the Upper Thames. Its name was "Llamedos" Please read from right to left!  She was an unlucky vessel. twelve months later she sank on her moorings, and we were involved in her salvage.

 

Perhaps the name was not a lucky one!

Another one on the Thames  a few years ago was ' Sodham Hall '.  Moored upstream of Reading.

Such uncouth boaters on the Thames!

Careful JM or you will end up in the Tower!      They won't be amused at Windsor!

Whilst we were on holiday in April, we saw one moored up somewhere called

 

"Only Me"

[MostlyAfloat]

Some of them made me laugh, saw one on a TV show the other night so not sure it really qualifies, it was called "The Orphanage" and was owned by a swindling pension pot pilferer, a bit like Mr Maxwell, he'd set up several charities to which he held fund raising events and paid all the proceeds into the "Orphanage" account - one person commented it was the only orphanage he'd been in that had no kids in...

Well made me chuckle

We used to go to Bowness where we had a time share cottage on the Marina at the Winderemere Marina Villiage in the early 8o's they had a lot of the larger cruisers up to 50 foot.

There was a ToysRus but the one that always got me was the one named "Igotitrobin" there was always far to many people up there swimming with gold chains for my liking.

Alan,

 

With the price of property in parts of the Lake District, I am surprised they were only wearing Gold, and not Platinum chains etc!

Feeling Nauti was always one of my favourites, or Cerrhosis of the River.

There was one I saw at OBYS many years ago, named Partners in Grime. They had worked for the company that made Gunk Engine cleaner lol

There's an old Le Boat moored in Horning called DILLIGAF Takes a little working out.

A good friend of mine decided to name his boat after the love of his life. Sadly, he was not as faithful to his lovers as he was to his boat.

We have a pair of enterprises called 'wood not' and 'wood too'

[stumpy]

Paul - love the Pic, I'll have to show it to my mate the tattoo artist, he does quite well out of cover ups and amendments!

[Rincewind]

I chuckle at boat names which appear to derive from personal experience...

 

'Money Pit'

'Coste Grande'

'On A Whim'

'Last One'

 

Then there's the somewhat miffed-looking chap driving a boat called 'Helen's Choice'. He obviously lost the domestic argument on that one.

[LincsLass]

We once had a speedboat call 'Shy Tot' and our first cruiser was Skyvin'. When we got our latest boat 'Midnight Star' my mum & dad decided the tender would be 'Midnight Starlet' x

Sat having a cold beer in 30c over looking Valetta Grand Harbour, wishing I was on my boat in Norfolk and saw " Sea Below" . My wife said maybe there's a submarine named " Sea Above " ................bless !

Enjoy your Beer!   Norfolk is due for Thunderstorms later I believe.

In Beccles YS there is 'Todo' and its tender, swinging on the davits, is called 'Little Todo'

[Timbo]

Martin and Fiona's boat Malanka has a rather clever name for its tender Mini Mal...it took a few days for that one to sink in with me.
