At the moment the Queen Elizabeth is approaching the Mira Flores Locks in the Panama Canal I will be on it in 9 days ,
Very interesting views of the PANAMA. GO ON VIEW AND ZOOM 200% FOR A GOOD PICTURE.

The difference between a ship and a boat?
Easy. A boat is what you get into if the ship is going down!

[Neville Roberts]

a boat is a vessel that can be caried by a ship.at least thats what I was told by captain Bligh.

AM not suprised at anything anymore, we now live in a world that is beyond normal reasoning, its change for the sake of change, another no maritime example is in the care industry, i was a minibus driver for a long time for adults with learning difficulties, they were known as Residents, then it changed to Clients, then to Service Users, all in a short space of time, such stupid names, do you remember when Royal Mail was privatised , they changed the name to Consignia ! it never caught on,

[John Pruden]

holiday vessels would be an appropriate name?
