The reason I was so interested in finding more information about the blockade-runner Banshee was the name. I always thought that was a neat name for a boat or ship. I was already familiar with the name from my readings on blockade-running.
When we got our second boat, we decided to name it, but couldn't come up with a good name both of us liked. This was a 1990 Four Winns 19-footer open bow runabout that we bought new. I suggested Banshee, but Liz didn't much care for it. We went on thinking about names.
When Liz siggested "School's Out," that quickly ended the search. A perfect name for two teachers. When you see us out in it, rest assured, "School Is Out." Now that we are retired, the name of our third boat, a 2003 Bayliner, is "School's Out...Forever." There's even a song about it.
So, a big thanks to Alice Cooper.
Sorry Banshee. --Old B-Runner
