>From ABBYY Lingvo:
# to be in the same boat with somebody -- быть в одинаковом положении с
кем-л....
# to be/to sail in the same boat -- быть в одном и том же положении с
кем-либо; быть связанным общим делом с кем-либо; оказаться в одинаковом
положении с кем-либо

# to be in the same boat -- быть в одинаковых условиях, в одинаковом
положении (с кем-л.)
   to sail in the same boat -- действовать сообща

# If I were you, I wouldn't row in the same boat with someone as corrupt as
he is. -- На вашем месте я не стал бы сотрудничать с таким непорядочным
человеком.


Kind regards,

Natalia T.
