At random: In their history, submarines were called by many names such as 'eel boats', 'plunging boats', 'devil divers', and 'pig boats'. Technically, and by size, the submarine is a ship, but it has been called a boat since its earliest days, and the term is steeped in tradition. Submariners almost invariably call their ships 'boats".

Hopes and prayers there for your Countrymen, Mate. As here in the States, the rain just doesn't seem to hit the right places at the right time.
Mother Nature knows best I suppose. We are just guests here for a little while.

Terrible situation. Have been reading the news and watch tv news about the fires in Australia. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
