Buckley Jr.)From "Ahoy" -- "The first in a series of four-letter words commonly exchanged by skippers as their boats approach each other" -- to "Zephyr" --"A warm, pleasant breeze named after the mythical Greek god of wishful thinking, false hopes, and unreliable forecasts"-- it brings new meaning to the things said at sea.
