Mine is Macojoe about 14 years ago I was out on a friends boat and while Cod fishing caught a Mako Shark and they started calling me Macojoe, now everything is that now.
But when coming to the internet I had to change the spelling.

New name is: "CUCHUCA" or "LA CUCHUCA", which is the nickname of my Mother. My grandfather whom I never met ( died young ), used to call her that when she was young. The meaning of the name still unknown.
I called her and asked for her permission, and to my surprise, She was very happy about it !!!
She even asked me to take her for a ride, and I will soon.
That brings a story to my mind; When I was very young, prob 7-8 y.o., my uncle Pollo took his boat to a house we were renting on the beach, and called us all for a ride, I jumped in, of course, but my beloved mother could not climb into the boat, no matter what we did to lift her inside. So she stayed behind, and I had a blast ( that got me into loving boating ), but the picture of watching my mother staying behind by herself on the beach, waiving at us, gave me a very strong guilty feeling, and took me years to get over that. Now the guilt is gone, but the memory has not.

Thanks for the story behind Macojoe. I have often wondered where that came from. Why did you have to change spelling from Makojoe to Macojoe?

My V21 got its name from my screen name - Blue Runner. My screen name came about in July of 2003 when I joined my first message board ever - www.reddrumtackle.com - which is a tackle shop on the outer banks where I used to surf fish some.

Just prior I had been surf fishing at the OBX and caught two strange fish that I could not ID. It turns out they were blue runners. I ate them (along with a bunch of croakers and sea mullet) before I even knew what they were. Looked like a bluefish to me, but tasted better LOL!

My first boat was named Cash Money - because that's what I paid for it - $900 clams. And a fine boat it was. Pictures in my gallery.
