Billthoo@simon_diamond all three. Are pontoons floating boat parking thingies though?
@Billthoo This one is😂
Howard Cheng@simon_diamond @Billthoo I think boat parking spaces on piers are called "jetties" or "moorings".
@simon_diamond @Howard you are clearly on par with some English speakers though! 😂
@Billthoo @simon_diamond Yep, defo agree! Much better than my Norwegian as a English speaker too haha.
@simon_diamond @Billthoo Haha. Tusen takk, Simon!
@simon_diamond @Billthoo What would you call it in Norwegian? Let's see what Google translate says it is! =P
@simon_diamond it looks like “boat place”.
Andy Willo@simon_diamond the tie points themselves are mooring rings. The term mooring can be one space for a boat to take up. Moorings is a site with a collection of individual spaces. Floating areas to tie up alongside which may be connected to the shore are pontoons.
@birchscrub Great, thanks!
Chloe G artist@Chloeg That is very helpful, but what about sticky out things on floaty things?😆
@simon_diamond Aye what you have there is a diagram busting pontoon.
@Chloeg They're the best kind, I've heard!😄
oldfartjmb says FREE PALESTINEI rented a "slip" for my sailboat in the marina. It had "fingers" — narrow walkways on each side, functionally like your floaty thingies.
