“Bail Out” popular boat name in 2009

They say the two happiest days in a boat owner’s life is the day he buys a boat and the day he gets rid of it.
I think that must be true. My older brothers have owned several boats over the years.
They always called each one the same thing: “More Trouble Than It’s Worth.”
Well, that name didn’t make the list of top 10 boat names for 2009.

The Boat Owners Association of the United States (BoatU.S.) annually compiles a list of the top 10 most popular boat names in the United States.
One name stands out for 2009: “Bail Out.”
It clearly speaks volumes about what’s on boater’s minds, said BoatU.S. President Nancy Michelman.
My cynical nature tells me that “Bail Out” made the list because a bunch of Wall Street folks bought yachts with stimulus money and are laughing all the way to the bank. 

Anyway, here is the top 10 list for 2009 from BoatU.S.:
1. Second Wind
2. Seas the Day
3. Lazy Daze
4. Jolly Roger
5. Bail Out
6. On the Rocks
7. Pegasus
8. Serenity Now
9. Namaste
10. Comfortably Numb

I can’t believe “Kiss My Bass” didn’t make the list.
