'My escape is to just get in a boat and disappear on the water.’

'If you can’t repair it, maybe it shouldn’t be on board.'

'Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear.
Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not.'

'The goal is not to sail the boat, but rather to help the boat sail herself.'

'Ships are the nearest things to dreams that hands have ever made,
for somewhere deep in their oaken hearts the soul of a song is laid.'

'There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.'
