Why did I name my boat "Bacon"? Truth be told, we were out at the bar one night, somebody said "Hey, you should name your boat Bacon?". Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Can you come up witha better story? Leave it as a comment on this post. Whoever comes up with the best answer to "Why is the boat called Bacon" - that will be the official story.
