Many guys name their boats after their wifes, daughters or girl friend. For me I chose my 2nd wife's Chinese nickname: XIAO MU JI (She-Oh-Moo-Gee) which means Little Female Chicken since both her and I were born twelve years apart but both on the year of the Rooster.
I never thought that I would tatoo a girls name on my arm or put her name on my boat, but when you fine the ultimate woman things change. I remember saying to her, "Hey honey, my accountant says I need tax deduction sime my X get to take the house I pay for and I get $800.00 for my son OUCH, I told her that we can't afford to buy a house yet but if we get a boat with all the amenities of a home it can be a secondary home...BINGO! She said great then build the boat of your dreams, I'll wait! PINCH ME! I was on the phone getting my order into the builder the next minute... SO I had to put her beautiful nick name that no one can pronounce on her...
My call sign is based on the make of my custom boat "IRONWOOD" and what I love to fish for "TUNA", hence, IRONWOODTUNA.
Wheres the fish???
