A sea is a large body of salt water that is surrounded in whole or in part by land. More broadly, "the sea" is the interconnected system of Earth's salty, oceanic waters—considered as one global ocean or as several principal oceanic divisions. The sea moderates Earth's climate and has important roles in the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle. Although the sea has been travelled and explored since prehistory, the modern scientific study of the sea—oceanography—dates broadly to the British Challenger expedition of the 1870s. The sea is conventionally divided into up to five large oceanic sections—including the IHO's four named oceans (the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic) and the Southern Ocean; smaller, second-order sections, such as the Mediterranean, are known as seas.
Owing to the present state of continental drift, the Northern Hemisphere is now fairly equally divided between land and sea (a ratio of about 2:3) but the South is overwhelmingly oceanic (1:4.7).Salinity in the open ocean is generally in a narrow band around 3.5% by mass, although this can vary in more landlocked waters, near the mouths of large rivers, or at great depths. About 85% of the solids in the open sea are sodium chloride. Deep-sea currents are produced by differences in salinity and temperature. Surface currents are formed by the friction of waves produced by the wind and by tides, the changes in local sea level produced by the gravity of the Moon and Sun. The direction of all of these is governed by surface and submarine land masses and by the rotation of the Earth (the Coriolis effect).
A barge is a flat-bottomed boat, built mainly for river and canal transport of heavy goods. Some barges are not self-propelled and need to be towed or pushed by towboats. Canal barges, towed by draft animals on an adjacent towpath, contended with the railway in the early industrial revolution, but were outcompeted in the carriage of high-value items due to the higher speed, falling costs, and route flexibility of rail.
Barge is attested from 1300, from Old French barge, from Vulgar Latin barga. The word originally could refer to any small boat; the modern meaning arose around 1480. Bark "small ship" is attested from 1420, from Old French barque, from Vulgar Latin barca (400 AD). The more precise meaning "three-masted ship" arose in the 17th century, and often takes the French spelling for disambiguation. Both are probably derived from the Latin barica, from Greek baris "Egyptian boat", from Coptic bari "small boat", hieroglyphic Egyptian
and similar ba-y-r for "basket-shaped boat". By extension, the term "embark" literally means to board the kind of boat called a "barque".
It is hoped this will help you to stay safe. Your barge has probably been working the inland waterways for many years and now you are asking it to cross over the sea in rougher conditions. If you fail to get your fuel tanks cleaned there is a considerable chance that when your vessel starts to pitch and roll about in the swell the sludge which has resided for many years unmoved in the fuel tanks will explode into a thick goo that will block your filters and can even be thick enough to block the delivery pipe... Do not cut back on this area of your barges pre-sea crossing service as you not only endanger your barge but also the lives of the people on board. Stay safe and spend the money to have them cleaned out... Also see https://youtu.be/OuKcIFogh48 I hope you find this helpful. To conta...

An insight into the delivery of a Dutch barge from Goole in Lincolnshire to Calais in France. The voyage was made in one stage and this was almost 300 miles from the start to finish. The journey by barge alone was around 40 hours straight. The weather window was carefully calculated and we had perfect conditions all the way down the North Sea and across the English Channel. It is truly amazing how much forward preparation goes into a transition of this type over the sea. The insured delivery means removing as many of the possible problems which could occur from the equation to give a safe passage for crew & vessel... This means a happy barge owner and a contented customer. To contact Keith. http://www.ngmarine.co.uk/

Hey Tribe! We know you LOVE the technical side of sailing so we put together this special interview with a naval architect. Kiril did an awesome job filming and editing this together, and we sure hope you learn as much as we did! If you like Kiril's editing style check out his channel https://www.youtube.com/user/kirildobrev ! Olivier Racoupeau is a naval architect and has designed cruising yachts for Amel, Wauquiez, Garcia, Beneteau, Fountaine Pajot, and many other custom projects. A few months ago while we were in La Rochelle the team at Amel asked if we would like to interview Olivier, who is responsible for the design of the Amel 55, 64, and the new 50 foot sloop that was just launched. We pretty much jumped at the chance to pick his brain about the differences between modern cr...

Cruise Ship Food - Megafood Dining on almost all cruise ships is included in the cruise price. Traditionally, the ships' restaurants organize two dinner services per day, early dining and late dining, and passengers are allocated a set dining time for the entire cruise; a recent trend is to allow diners to dine whenever they want. Having two dinner times allows the ship to have enough time and space to accommodate all of their guests. Having two different dinner services can cause some conflicts with some of the ship's events (such as shows and performances) for the late diners, but this problem is usually fixed by having a shorter version of the event take place before late dinner. Cunard Line ships maintain the class tradition of ocean liners and have separate dining rooms for different...
To me, this 2003 episode of "Deep Sea Detectives" on the sinking of the "Estonia" ferry boat in the Baltic Sea is important for one major reason. That major reason is that its shows the total corruption and malfeasance of the government of Sweden. Swedish politicians since the unsolved murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986 all dance to the tune of an off-stage organ grinder. These controlled politicians just follow orders. Palme's political ally and potential successor after his murder, Bernt Carlsson, was a passenger on Pan Am Flight 103 on December 21, 1988, when the jet crashed into Lockerbie. Currently, as "rapefugees" sexually assault thousands of Swedish women with virtual impunity, the government of Sweden, under United States direction, continues to press for the deport...

Richard Goodwin continues his Adventure across France. The Camargue is a huge flat area situated in the Rhone delta between the two branches that the river makes on it's way to the Mediterranean. I visited two industries in the marshy area which interested me very much. The first one is the reed gathering trade. I saw how they cut reeds by hand and later I get to ride on and enormous machine specially constructed for the purpose. It has hugely wide tyres so that it can glide over the marshy areas where the reeds grow. Reeds are used in very many different ways that I found very interesting. I then go out fishing with a professional fisherman who fishes in the shallow lakes of the Camargue. It was a very fascinating day, watching him manage his nets and land his eels, carp et...

Supertankers | The Largest Ship Tankers - Geographic History. "Supertankers" are the largest tankers, including very large crude carriers (VLCC) and ULCCs with capacities over 250,000 DWT. These ships can transport 2,000,000 barrels (320,000 m3) of oil/318,000 metric tons. By way of comparison, the United Kingdom consumed about 1.6 million barrels (250,000 m3) of oil per day in 2009. ULCCs, commissioned in the 1970s, were the largest vessels ever built, but the longest ones have already been scrapped. By 2013 only a few ULCCs remain in service, none of which are more than 400 meters long. Because of their great size, supertankers often can not enter port fully loaded. These ships can take on their cargo at off-shore platforms and single-point moorings. On the other end of the journey, th...
Even the most daunting world records are meant to be broken … eventually. For elite navigator Stan Honey and a crew of sailing all-stars, beating the prestigious monohull transatlantic sailing record was the ultimate accomplishment. And it was no easy feat. On July 22, 2016, the Comanche—a custom-built, 100-foot racing yacht—set sail from New York to the southern tip of England. Precisely five days, 14 hours, 21 minutes and 25 seconds later, the Comanche’s crew shattered the world record … by more than a day.

"What is life? What should I expect from it? Tell me!"
Life is just a moment, a short period of time. You don't
have to regret
Sometimes we fail, sometimes we not. But more often we
don't recognize how it's passing us by.
Just let a dream cover you
"I understand what you mean. These moments given by life
- that's a point of a living."
Yes they are.
Short periods of time to understand the meaning
That every moment is a dream and every dream is a pearl
of sea.
