Tricia Jean

We really liked the name. Tricia was my wife's mother's name and Jean was my mother's name. We used to joke that that our moms were still taking care of us. Also, it was the only documented boat with that name (there are a couple named Patricia Jean though).

The only trouble with it was that unless the person on the receiving end had run into us before, it was never recognized over the radio, especially if the person wasn't a native English speaker. That's why when we got the new boat, instead of naming her Tricia Jean II or something like that, we ended up with Loose Pointer.
