"Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message m... A irregular ongoing series of phrases providing conversation resources for the average boater. To LAUNCH something - to LAUNCH into: Derived from the French lancier (to pierce) - the boat pierces the water. Historical note: The Vikings, discoverers of America, China, Fiji and Antarctica in addition to populating Mongolia and Minnesota, tied slaves to the boat's launch skids to "grease" the way. Usuage: To LAUNCH into a discussion about the appropriate type of posts. Hey Teach, question: Can one also have LAUNCH on his boat at noon? |
