Sealander: This Camper Can Also Be Used as a Boat

Campers come in many shapes and forms: from static ones to wheeled campers and now one that is an actual boat! This awesome camper can also be used as a boat, so you can have a weekend of adventures right in the heart of nature. The camper is called The Sealander and you can use on land and also on water, so actually it’s like owning two separate campers. This invention comes from the mind of a German engineer who wanted to create the perfect weekend home for those who like to spend time on water, but also enjoy camping in the woods. This tiny home has a small sink, benches, a stereo system and a sunroof that can be opened wide while sunbathing. So as you can see, it wasn’t exactly designed to be used as a living or sleeping space, but more as an entertainment spot.

The Sealander is a caravan and yacht in one. The high quality and aesthetics of boat-building are combined with the flexibility of a mobile home. Its dynamic and modern design expresses lightness and agility. For your perfect day out in every environment.

Pirates have tried to invade a ship, look what happened!

Pirates have tried to invade a ship, look what happened! A small band of Somali pirates attempt to seize an unidentified ship during a raid. Bad idea. The ship turns out to be a U.S. Naval vessel. Watch what happens. Piracy in international waters is down in recent years, as governments and private shipping have gotten wise to the tactics of the raiders of the high seas. Pirates are finding increased patrols, harder targets, and tougher reprisals ( like this ), which has resulted in far fewer hijackings, according to statistics from the International Chamber of Commerce. This is a good thing, of course. But it also means we're going to see far fewer of these highly entertaining videos. Watch what happens when these tough guys see that they are not raiding a helpless commercial vessel but one owned and operated by the U.S. Navy. It's what you call a classic "oh sh*t" moment.

Who the hells filming this!?

Been there, done that in a 2100 ton, 300 ft. destroyer, the USS Van Valkenburgh, DD-656, in 1952. As I tell the story, the Captain asked me, "How do we turn around in this sea? We have to come about (turn around) to get out of this typhoon." I told him, "Simple. As you ride up the 60-foot wave, put the starboard screw on all-back-full, and the port screw on all-ahead-full. Just as you reach the crest of the wave, put 'er on hard right rudder! Don't forget to put the helm amidships and both screws on full ahead when you start down the other side of the wave. Then when the ship starts accelerating down into the trough, slow the screws down to about half power." He did that, we came smartly around 180 degrees, plowed into the wave now in front of us, steadied, and rode back out of the storm." I asked the Captain to give full credit to the helmsman and the two engine-room mates on the port and starboard throttles. He asked me how I knew...
