When we go cruising I take lots of photos of craft I see in harbours and at sea and always have difficulty deciding if they are boats or ships ( I tag all my photos). I now have a measure to separate the ships from the boats.GeniAushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074874999181040071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-16283198079104650942016-04-23T15:20:26.442+10:002016-04-23T15:20:26.442+10:00When my husband was in the Marines they went to th...When my husband was in the Marines they went to the Mediterranean on a huge ship and every time they left a port he was sick for 3 days. When the first time he went on a sail boat he didn't get sick he was so surprised. So he bought one. I was the log keeper of all our sailing trips. Even when he sailed with a friend to Hawaii from Vancouver he called me on a Sat phone every 3Rd day or so and told me their lat./long and what's been going on, and I put it on a website for all our and the other guys families to keep track of them.

I especially like reading about the interactions between you and your daddy. <br /><br />According to our oldest son, Chief Petty Officer in the US Navy, the only thing called a boat in our Navy is a submarine. Everything else is a ship or a craft. He is in a boat, under the sea somewhere. Our youngest son, the US Marine, may be put on a ship soon.<br /><br />I always enjoy your very informative posts. Have a blessed day!Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-17895015599032280782016-04-23T05:26:37.438+10:002016-04-23T05:26:37.438+10:00Log of Logs sounds wonderful - I had never heard o...Log of Logs sounds wonderful - I had never heard of it. My youngest daughter (age 9) insists she will only go on ships. In her view boats are too small and therefore far too dangerous. I remember my eldest daughter's shock discovering that the ferry which crosses the River Wey at Weymouth was a rowing boat. She had only been on a car ferry before that and was expecting something rather larger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545255455173688148.post-20755391048716152142016-04-22T23:39:26.226+10:002016-04-22T23:39:26.226+10:00Your exchange with your father reminds me of a sce...Your exchange with your father reminds me of a scene in a movie in which the police chief boards a sailboat to interview a suspect. "Nice boat," he says to the owner. "It's a schooner," says the bad guy.<br /><br />My high school was named for an admiral in the Navy, so everything about our school had a nautical connection. Our newspaper was The Shipmate. Our literary magazine was The Log. Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.com
