Whenever ia captures a sloop,i almost always end up renameing it John B.
Why? I've always just liked the tune.
Have ye Ever had a voyage like this at least once? Especialy when you were just learning the game?

Sloop John B- Words and music by Brian Wilson

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well i feel so broke up
I want to go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home,Let me go home
I wanna go home,yeah,yeah
I feel so broke up
I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke into the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home,let me go home
I wanna go home,let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Let me go home

The poor cook he got the fits
And threw away all my grits
And he took and ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home,let me go home
I wanna go home,let me go home
Why don't you let me go home

I really like that old song by the Beach Boys too jbsmith. I like the name too, mainly because my dear Grand Dad's name was John B. XXXXX. It's a nice name... Smile
