Port of Call, for serious?

port of call   

n.   

pl. ports of call

A port where ships dock in the course of voyages to load or unload cargo, obtain supplies, or undergo repairs.

If this is the dictionary.com definition of 'Port of Call', then why are there so many boat's that have ports of call from places without boating water, like Las Vegas?  or fictional places, like Never,Never land?

A documented boat must declare a "home port" and it can be anywhere. You could boat in FL and declare Aspen, CO as your home port. Clearly, most people use their boat's home port, although some try to use another location to try to avoid certain tax jurisdictions. There are even specifications for the size of the lettering for the home port.

My logic has always been that people like to tell the rest of the world where they are from (assuming of course they are proud of their home town). But I have to admit that Las Vegas is a far stretch from the water so I guess that guy won his boat (or the money to buy it at least) at the tables. Good for him.

Deal.
