I pulled her out of the inky black seawater and into the boat.
"Welcome to the Homer."
She spat out some water and fiddled with her life jacket.
"Simpson or Alaska?"
"Uh, neither. The guy who wrote the Odyssey?"
She coughed and looked at me strangely as she began to remove her jacket.
"So why not name her after the boat from the book, rather than give her a male name?"
"Funnily enough, none of ships Odysseus captained are named, not even the one with the Sirens."
"Oh I know, but funny you should mention Sirens."
She began to sing.
