Naming a Lobster Boat in Maine

I enjoyed my very early breakfasts with the lobstermen of Maine but it took a bit before I could get them to open up. After a few nods I got some, “mornings”. Soon I could ask questions and one was where the names of their boats come from. Names like Endurance and Wind and Spirit seemed to convey a message. Sure enough the recurring answer was the names reflect the qualities needed to do the job. I soon return for a bit more cancer removal from my face so the names and answers resonated with me. Many boats are also named for the wives of lobster men such as Betty Lou and Sally. I asked one guy why there was a boat named Double Trouble in the harbor. Seems the captain had more than just a wife, hence the double part. With fuel becoming an added problem for these guys, expect those ugly but delicious creatures to rise in price. Perhaps I will name my Jeep, Gas Guzzler.
