Ocio de Soto
This boat's name is a dialectal expression whose literal meaning is perfect for a sailing boat as it means "keep an eye out down below". The saying also means "careful what you say".
Update offered by Nereo:
"Ociodesoto" originally is a warning shouted by somebody working on scaffolds or on high structures/places to people passing/transiting below when a tool or another object or a lifted cargo for example, is falling or might fall.
Now is more used as an advice: Keep your eyes open because something wrong might happen to you."
