“It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea … whether it is to sail or to watch it … we are going back from whence we came.”

A life quote from John F Kennedy 14-9-62

“They that go down to the sea in ships, and occupy their business in great waters: these men see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.”

- A sea quote from the Bible Psalm 107


“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed in the things that you didn’t do than the ones you did do, so throw off the bow lines.

Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover!”

- Mark Twain

“When I have come with happy heart to sixty years and ten, I’ll buy a boat and sail away upon a summer sea; and in a little lonely isle that’s far, far from men, in peace and praise I’ll spend the days the gods allow to me!”

- Life quote by Robert Service

“You are the captain of your own destiny. It just depends on where you want to steer your ship!”
“My sister and I would do our homework then sit up at night in gales to see if our anchor broke free of its moorings. My parents even taught me to cook a roast in a tiny galley in a force 8 gale.”

-Sea Quote by Samantha Davies, solo sailor on yacht Roxy.

“In rough seas, sometimes it’s too dangerous to boil water. But as I’m a girl, my nutritionist acknowledges that I have to eat chocolate each day!”

- Samantha Davies


"People with the boat bug are never happier than when they are poking around marinas, fantasizing about owning other people's boats. It's a disease that costs more to cure than any other single common learning disability."

"You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore!" By Andre Gide


"Trying to have wisdom without application is like trying to catch the winds without raising the sails!" A sea quote by Thomas Russell

"Sometimes in the winds of change we find our true direction!"

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark:

One: Don't miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.



"To me, nothing made by man is more beautiful than a sailboat under way in fine weather, and to be on that sailboat is to be as close to heaven as I expect to get. It is unalloyed happiness."

"Great people are not affected by each puff of wind that blows ill. Like great ships, they sail serenely on, in calm sea or tempest!"

“As you ride up to the top of the wave and look over the next it’s like being pushed off the top of a hill on a brakeless bike .... There’s simply no stopping you!”

- Ellen MacArthur on the yacht Kingfisher.
