You have to tell! What are the special meanings?

I don't name my boats, but there is a totem for them. The sea turtle. I always take a small, blue ceramic turtle on the boat with me. My wife keeps one at home. This is so I can find my way back if I get lost. I have become seriously superstitious about this!

Sea turtles are great voyagers, but return to the beaches where they were born, at least according to folk lore. The females, of course, come ashore to lay eggs, but the males just cruise the beach searching for females!

Once the males go to sea, they never return to land. According to folk lore. Can't vouch for the scientific accuracy.
