PHOTOS: What’s in a name? Boats at Oak Bay Marina run the gamut

Boat owners draw on pop culture references, clever wordplay to name their crafts

A stroll around any local marina reveals a variety of boat names, inspired by people both real and fictional, entertainment references, turns of phrases and more.

Oak Bay Marina is no different with humorous and clever monikers. At one point during a recent boating season, boat names there were inspired by beer, sleep, small animals and gravity. Pick your favourite out of those we photographed on the day.
