U-Boat War in england – part 3
U-boat is the anglicized version of the German word U-Boot itself an abbreviation of Unterseeboot (undersea boat), and refers to military submarines operated by Germany, particularly in World War I and World War II. Although in theory, U-boats could have been useful fleet weapons against enemy naval warships, in practice they were most effectively used in an economic-warfare role, enforcing a naval blockade against enemy shipping. The primary targets of the U-boat campaigns in both wars were the merchant convoys bringing supplies from the British Empire and the United States to the island of Great Britain. Austrian submarines of World War I were also known as “U-Boats”.
The distinction between U-boat and submarine is common in English-language usage (where U-boat refers exclusively to the German vessels of the World Wars) but is unknown in German, in which the term U-Boot refers to any submarine.

Launching a Boat 3.5.5
Prepare for launch: Prepare the boat away from the launch so you will not block any boaters who are waiting to launch or retrieve their boat. Preparation may involve removing all tie-downs except the winch line, loading additional supplies and equipment into the boat, inserting the drain plug if not already done, disconnecting trailer brake lights so you don’t burn out the bulbs, removing the motor travel supports if applicable, and putting the trim up to prevent hitting the prop when launching.
Attach a bow line to steady the boat upon release. This may not be required if two persons are launching the boat, and one is in the boat.
Release the winch line and slowly reverse the boat off the trailer.
Secure the boat to the dock, and then promptly move the tow vehicle and trailer away from the launch to avoid keeping other boaters from waiting.
If you anticipate problems with your boat engine, start the engine and let it warm up while the boat is still attached to the winch line. It is much easier to retrieve the boat when it is still on the trailer.
Back into the water far enough that the lower unit cooling water intake holes are submerged. (NOTE: use the parking brake on the towing vehicle at this point, and do not allow the tow vehicle’s wheels in the water unless necessary.)

Boat Fire in Daytona Beach Intercoastal Waterway #2 ; Kevin Snyder
This is a video of my 25′ Catalina Sailboat burning in the Daytona Beach Intercoastal Waterway. We took the boat out for the Memorial Day weekend. Somehow, an electrical fire started and it spread immediately to my gas tank. The fire actually blew me off the boat. A fellow boat picked us up and we watched the boat burn from a distance. NOTE TO FELLOW BOATERS: Know where your safety supplies are! When an accident happens, you’ll need them immediately!
