On a fishing forum I follow someone suggested googling your boat name. You can find some interesting hits!

I did that on a ships registry some time ago and found I shared the
name with a tug in Alaska that was built not far from where I live.
Al Gore did a great thing inventing the internet as it has all kinds of
great info. Bob Heselberg near Eatonville Wa

Wild hits indeed. My boat was named after an elderly Italian female! I sure didn't know this much younger wildly popular Italian female shared her name Shocked

Probably wouldn't make a difference unless I was cruising in Italy with it.

Google does not know how to search for c-voyager. Every time I try, Google drops the “-“ and searches for c voyager instead. I tried AOL and Live Search and got the same results.

Then I tried Yahoo. The first two hits were my web site and the next two were C-Brat threads. The next 1200 plus were c voyager, but Yahoo placed a “-“ between c and voyager when there should not have been one on the hits it displayed.

I came up with a lot of psychology stuff...about daydreams, strangely enough.

Halcyon, a good character from Greek mythology, has been morphed into some things very interesting, with a google search -- good grief![/quote]

I quit at 8 pages of a hotel in Homer with a few hits on kayak sites.

The same thing happens when I Google my name. All I get is references to the quarterback of the Patriots.
