What's in a Name

[MarshHen]

As much as I like Marsh Hen as a name for my Suncat, it sounds too much like Martian over the radio.  When I am being hailed, or, am cussing the sport fishers for waking me, the name needs to be clear.

My daughters had a cat when they were young named Popcorn.  They used to dress the poor thing up in doll clothes and push him around in a baby carriage. He took the abuse like a trooper.  My girls are grown now with kids of there own, but they would appreciate memory.

We'll see.  Time is on my side.

My first thought was Reuben Trane's Marsh Hen and thought you might have had one in your past. Not that the sport fishers would care.

Our 19 is Miss Adventure.  When we 1st purchased her, every outing had some type of misadventure.  Now that I think about it, they still do.

I'm taking a PS Orion out for a test sail, short haul and survey this Thursday. Her hull states her name as Maggie Blue, but it's registered with the CG as Breakfast Chocolate.  I'm sure there is a good story behind it, but hailing it wouldn't be too convenient.

Nice!

No Bruce, Marsh Hen came about from living in Charleston on the marsh for years.  Their cackle is one of my favorite sounds.  Of course now I am inland a bit (grand kids and all).  But Lake Murray is a nice body of water and I'm only two hours from the coast.

Ah, the real deal. Marsh Hens don't quite get to Narragansett Bay, we do enjoy watching shore birds.

I did love the Popcorn story!
