Boats

We have resuscitated cars and aircraft, but not boats.
Without this category we would also lose capsizing, an important part of boats.
This weekend off Florida:

 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/30/us/Stuart-bee-missing-boat-Florida-port-canaveral.html

The pictures have been on TV and you can plainly see the captain standing on the bow of his vertical boat.
This is an even wronger use of  "capsize" than usual.

Re: Boats

Boats it is then!

This story also abuses the language of the sea.  The caption in the lead picture says "docked".  It is not docked.  If anything, it's LOCKED.  That boat is going through the Ballard Locks, and is *definitely* not docked.

Re: Boats

Well they are boats, Lazarus boats. They sink and rise from the depths.
The M-1 with the 12 inch gun, was supposed to lie in ambush at periscope depth with just the end of the gun above water. The fly in the ointment was they had to surface to reload, so if they missed... well paybacks are a bitch.

Re: Boats

Newest capsize.

Not sure if the Secor Power really did, or why it didn't sink, but if ever a "boat" was made for it, this is it.

Re: Boats

I'm not sure why I didn't find this clarifying term in earlier discussions of "capsizing."

Re: Boats

The LA people had best get used to intense storm, tornado, hail, heavy flooding rain, and high wind, as the change in climate will keep fostering all of them.
I had heard of turtling meaning upside down.

Now the danger of this Evinrude design is out on the ocean it might rock you to sleep. It would work for Fargon and his Captain though.
