"A venturesome minority will always be eager to set off on their own, and no obstacles should be placed in their path; let them take risks, for godsake, let them get lost, sunburnt, stranded, drowned, eaten by bears, buried alive under avalanches - that is the right and privilege of any free American." ~ Edward Abbey

"MY TOP TEN FAV-OR-ITE BOAT QUOTES"


1. "I remember how my great uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had whittled off the paint. ~ Jack Handy

2. My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out on the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, "Mom, they weren't trying to teach you to swim." ~ Paula Poundstone

3. "I love the ocean. Boats, not so much."~Jeff Goldblum

4. "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." ~Kenneth Graham

5. "Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats." ~ Woody Allen

6. "There are a lot of mysterious things about boats, such as why anyone would get one voluntarily." ~ P.J. O'Rourke

7. "A boat is a hole in the water into which one throws money"~unknown

8. "A Ship is safe in harbor but that's not what they are made for"-John Shedd

9. "If you boat a lot, you're known as a boating enthusiast. I like to boat, but I just don't want to ever be referred to as a 'boating enthusiast'. I hope they cal me 'a guy who likes to boat'." ~Mitch Hedburg

10. "Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit."- Brooks Atkinson
