My boats name, while hardly original, seems to fit.

Her name is Valkyrie.

In the Norse legends the only way you could get to heaven was to die honorably in battle. The Valkyrie were sent by Odin to choose those
warriors that were worthy to enter heaven. Their job was fly over the battlefield and watch the battle and whatever warrior they thought was worthy of going to Valhalla (heaven) they would choose him, he would die, and they would take him to heaven. Their name literally means "choosers of the dead". Since I hunt Fluke in particular and fish in general, I think that it's an appropriate name. I choose what fish I'm going to kill. I'd be interested to hear what other people have named their boats and why.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
