About Me

Words to Sail By
"Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm."
~Syrus Pubilius
"It isn't that life ashore is distasteful to me. But life at sea is better."
~Sir Francis Drake
"The art of the sailor is to leave nothing to chance."
~Annie Van De Wiele
"If you can't repair it, maybe it shouldn't be on board."
~Lin and Larry Pardey
"Ships are the nearest thing to dreams that hands have ever made."
~Robert N. Rose
"There is nothing- absolutely nothing-
half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats."
~Ratty said to Mole in Kenneth Grahame's beloved 1908 classic, The Wind in the Willows.
"Only two sailors, in my experience, never ran aground. One never left port and the other was an atrocious liar."
~Don Bamford
"Out of sight of land the sailor feels safe. It is the beach that worries him."
~Charles G. Davis
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist
expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."
~William A. Ward
"Ships that pass in the night and speak each other in passing;
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"The sail, the play of its pulse so like our own lives: so thin and yet so full of life, so noiseless when it labors hardest, so noisy and impatient when least effective."
~Henry David Thoreau
