What is the origin of bofin?

 

Just been told that tommorows trip is off and have a litre of whiskey left from yesterdays party. No 0400 out of bed and 12 hours on a boat. Good and bad.

 

Submarines are called boats, fact. when does a boat become a ship? ie sailing ship, fishing boat.

 

He ran a tight ship, was everyone peed?
