A Relationship With Current Sea: What Is For Sail
Water is Money
Fiat Current Sea: Maritime Money
Our fiat currency is like current in the sea. Although a better analogy would be a river, since the flow of water is directed by the banks on either side. The river-banks control the current; the money-banks control the currency.
This is why our cash-on-hand or "cash flow" is a 'liquid asset'. Money is colloquially referred to as water. We use marine or aquatic vernacular to generically describe financial systems and terms.
When we make a lot of money, we make barrels of it. But if we are broke, we're in deep. We're literally drowning in a sea of debt. Or maybe we're in hot water. Our bank accounts have dried up. The economy can be tough and we're often just trying to stay afloat or keep our heads above water.
When someone spends too much money too fast, they're told: “money goes through your hands like water.” And when we're out of money, we are underwater. We're washed up, even if we pool our resources together, we're insolvent. But sometimes a friend or family member might bail us out, like our government has done with banks and businesses in the past.
"We could say they government spend like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money."
-Ronald Reagan, 40th President of the USA & originator of 'trickle down economics'.

If you want to sell your car, you put it up for sale(sail?). If we buy a car we might get it at fleet pricing at the dealership to gain ownership. If we buy it online, It's cheaper to pick it up than to have it shipped as cargo.
If someone offers loans at extremely high interest rates, they're called a loan shark.
If you handle stocks illegitimately, we use the term slush fund. In fact, even the word stock is an early 15th Century marine term meaning "framework on which a boat was constructed".
In poker, a whale is a player that stinks at the game but has a lot of money.
If money doesn't have fixed exchange rate, it is a called a floating currency.
Maybe this is why we draw water when we run a bath, just like we make a withdraw on a bank run.
The analogies between water and money probably go on and on. Can you think of any more? If you can, let me know by listing them in the comments.
This is only the tip of the iceberg, since water is also representative of human anatomy, our court system, law, and who knows what else.

captain: from kaput, capital
https://www.etymonline.com/word/captain
capital (adj.)
early 13c., "of or pertaining to the head," from Old French capital, from Latin capitalis "of the head," hence "capital, chief, first," from caput (genitive capitis) "head" (from PIE root *kaput- "head"). Meaning "main, principal, chief, dominant, first in importance" is from early 15c. in English. The modern informal sense of "excellent, first-rate" is dated from 1762 in OED (as an exclamation of approval, OED's first example is 1875), perhaps from earlier use of the word in reference to ships, "first-rate, powerful enough to be in the line of battle," attested from 1650s, fallen into disuse after 1918. Related: Capitally.

Maritime Law:
Dock= Doc = Doctor
docket at courthouse (a calendar or list of cases for trial or people having cases pending) = dock
dock: In a courtroom setting, the dock is an enclosed space where the defendant stands or sits in a court of law.
Jury Rig is a nautical term describing something that is assembled in a makeshift manner offering nothing more than a temporary solution. It originates from the nautical term “jury mast,” which is a temporary mast made from any available pole when the mast has become damaged or lost overboard. This term gave rise to the term ‘jury rigging‘ to describe an attempt to place certain persons as jurors in a court proceeding in an effort to assure a particular legal decision.
jury (adj.)
"temporary," 1610s (in jury-mast, a nautical term for a temporary mast put in place of one broken or blown away), a sailors' word of uncertain origin. Perhaps it is ultimately from Old French ajurie "help, relief," from Latin adjutare (see aid (n.)). Jury-leg for "wooden leg" is from 1751; Denham once used jury-buttocks.

nave (n.1)
"main part of a church," 1670s, from Medieval Latin navem (nominative navis) "nave of a church," from Latin navis "ship" (from PIE root *nau- "boat"), on some fancied resemblance in shape.
