Our Boat Name - Eagle's Wings

Windward Passage, Wind Dancer, Morning Light and Dream Catcher evoke feelings of romance, beauty and adventure. That's the kind of name we wanted for our boat - a meaningful name that transmits succinctly and clearly over the VHF. What Don't You Understand, What Don't You Understand, What Don't You Understand, this is Dazed & Confused – I don't think so. Fish N Chicks, Fish N Chicks, Fish N Chicks, this is Full Blown Insanity – not for us. One can find thousands of clever and not so clever boat names on the Internet. We didn't. We borrowed our boat's name from one of our favorite songs, On Eagle's Wings:

                          And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,
                          Bear you on the breath of dawn,
                          Make you to shine like the sun,
                          And hold you in the palm of His Hand.

I just wanted to drop a note to let you know I love your boat's name.

The most important part (besides sounding good over the VHF) is that it has a special meaning to YOU.

I see a lot of names suggested at the boat name blog that I publish, but yours is pretty unique.
