Seafaring quotes

[DavidCrosby]

"Well, when you leave to sail around the world, you don't have to do it all at once. A big trip is really just a bunch of small trips put together. You just have to make it to the next port, fix what's broken, make it to the next port, fix what's broken and so on.?

Emily Richmond, When asked, ?how prepared was she, when she departed on her trip.?

[w00dy]

?A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.?

Oh man it would be sweet to have 48000oz of gold to replace my lead keel! Not only 1% rich but get some extra space in the bilge and better righting moment! The stuff dreams are made of ;D

True, but on a more serious note, if the economy crashes a well kept, equipped and supplied boat, (paid with cash not credit) is even better than real estate as you are able live, eat and move to a place where you may have better chances of earning a lively hood.
