Forward of the stateroom is a small v-berth with the anchor locker, a bench, and a huge hatch. Someday, I’d love to sit up there, shut myself in, and write. [links]

And to be honest, there are also some difficulties, which you can read in my post: The Top 5 Worst Things about Living on a Boat.
Check out the inside of my sailboat, where two people currently live in a very small space!

Across from our galley, which I love cooking at because its so near the breezes of the companionway, is a table and a couple of bench seats.

Let’s have a look at the inside of Pontoon Boat!
If you want to avoid ruining your tubes or causing an accident, re-filling a tube with air should be performed with the utmost caution, planning, and the proper equipment. more
Advanced Pontoon Boats have some features that you should know about for better understanding. [links]
Opening a drain plug on a pontoon tube and hearing air escape is a very good sign as it shows there are no leaks in the pontoon. Obviously this can only be done once, unless the boat owner replaces the air in the tube. This is more often than not a bad idea.
When a pontoon tube loses buoyancy it can have very bad affect on the boat, leading to outright sinking or causing the pontoon boat to take a nosedive. here
It is the shape and weight of the pontoon tube that helps keep it afloat. This is because the shape and weight ensures the pontoon, when it sits in the water, moves more water (in weight) than its own weight.
When the Germans captured Western France, they suddenly had direct access to the Atlantic, no longer dependant on a route through the Baltic Sea and the waters above Scotland. The U Boats slid silently, almost, straight into the Atlantic. But once again, pride factored into the failure of some submarines’ missions. Donitz insisted they be run from a central command over which he had authority. here
Submarine attack: Battle of the Atlantic.
They went ahead anyway, they just did it quietly, by setting up numbered companies in the Netherlands. Consequently, their submarines were one of the most formidable parts of the country’s armament when World War II began.
