Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:34:00 +0200 Michael Douglas and his wife Catherine Z Jones had a yacht cruise recently. They were sailing on a luxury yacht with a crew, which was flying an American flag.

Well, both in the movie and in this yachting cruise he probably didn't steer a yacht himself, there are experts who do that. Sailing a yacht is not something new for celebrities, but they rarely steer a yacht themselves. On this yachting cruise happened something interesting. The captain of the luxury yacht where Michael Douglas, his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and their friends were sailing, had not reported port authorities who was on board and haven't gained the right paperwork.

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 23:35:00 +0200 Fuel on a boat can be different, but each boat uses some fuel or gas. Owners of the boats and those steering them need to know how to manage safely boat engines and fuel in them.Fires on boats are not as common as fires on land. However, if you are on a boat you will need to stay alert and take care as fires spread more quickly on water. Boats pose different fire risks to those who are aboard, but by following some common-sense guidance, you can protect your boat and any crew. These simple basic safety guidance will reduce the risk of fire on your boat... Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:05:00 +0200 Smoke alarm technology has developed significantly during the past several years with more features being available, such as optical sensors, long life batteries and the facility to ‘hush’ the alarm when, for example, cooking food.It's strongly recommended that boats with overnight accommodation are fitted with at least one smoke alarm. Boaters should use smoke alarms as part of their fire action plan to detect and ultimately escape from fire on the boat. Early detection of a fire while boating can help deal with a small fire before it gets out of control or give everyone aboard the chance to escape without being overcome by smoke or poisonous fumes, especially while sleeping and that's why unaware of the fire danger. Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:11:00 +0200 Fire safety while boating is essential both when boat is moored and in open waters. Boat fires are less common than fires on land. But when they do occur, they can have destroying consequences. Boats are often far away from the land, so boat fire may result in frighting consecuences. Since it takes longer for fire-fighters to arrive at an incident, a fire can totally destroy a boat and everything on it for that time.Boat that is well maintained to minimum fire safety standards has higher degree of boating fire safety and fire is unlikely on it. But it is a great concern to boaters who can be caught unawares or in a situation where escape is difficult. |
