Boating articles with tips and guidelines for awesome boating experiences
A marine surveyor is a person who conducts inspections of marine vessels to evaluate and report on their condition and the products in them. They examine the underwater section of hull while the ship is docked. Underwater parts that are checked include the tail shaft, propellers, rudders, and sea valves. The above water sections that are checked include hatchways, free ports, ventilators, bulkheads, and fittings. The surveyor also checks machinery and how it is operating. It is their responsibility to make sure safety standards are met. After inspections, the marine surveyor prepares reports and makes suggestions for repairs that need to be made and actions that need to be taken. They also survey harbors, rivers, and other bodies of water to help determine topography, and the depth of the water and even to decide where the shoreline is.
What is the point of going on a boat besides fishing? Is it supposed to be interesting to a certain extent? Is there supposed to be some kind of pleasant feeling from being on top of the water? Sure, the boat moving back and forth seems like somewhat of a “different” experience than typical everyday life, but why would someone go so far as to pay a lot of money for this, or to rent a boat? Using paddles to push a small boat on a lake after having rented it seems like an okay idea, but does not doing this sort of thing in the ocean seem somewhat dangerous? Not only the consideration of sharks, of even of whales too!
