Steamer

Steamer
noun
Something propelled or operated by steam, as a steamship. 

Sunday, UK

We went for a trip around the lakes. I drove down to Ullswater and got on a boat for about two and a half hours; I drove to get some more practice driving on the left side of the road, which was okay because my compatriots' hair is already gray.

The trip around the lakes is quite nice. The way out the wind was with us, so it was not cold. On the way back the wind was against us, but Maynard found a very warm spot to sit without going below deck: the steam shaft, made of metal, conducts enough heat that it will keep you warm, but not too much to sit on.

Homework
When's the last time you were on a boat?
