Words to live by?

Ahoy Knothead Ye be waxing poetic to be sure but ye missed the point me tninks, to voyage is not at all a matter of money , Few can conquer the fear of the unknown, to venture out beyond land or even the safety of life. Tis it not simply a matter of giving yourself to the dream and curse the rest? The courage to voyage is either in you or comes at great personal cost. Marinas are full of hundreds of thousands of hundred thousand dollar yachts that never voyage.Why? Fear, arrogance and stupidity are the stock and trade of todays yachtsmen. The code of honor and intergity of todays boaters is both pathetic and for me laughable. I laugh because I am The Pirate of Pine Island and I am on a voyage.
