"We can be rolled around in a glassy calm, we can be called upon to pit our wits against light and baffling head winds, we can be tossed from wave to wave in a howling gale, but, if the crew are still cheerful and everybody smiles, what does it matter?"
John. W. Gray.
"Don’t give up the struggle for existence in the city. Don’t go wandering in a ship around the South Sea Islands. For if you do the spirit of the wanderlust will get right into your bones and you will never be satisfied to return again to work in towns. Then you will become a vagabond of the sea, like me.
Its terrible……and yet, I don’t know."
John. W. Gray.
"Ports rot ships and men."
Admiral Horatio Nelson.
Wild nights-Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile - the Winds-
To a Heart in port-
Done with the Compass-
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden
Ah, the Sea!
Might I but moor-Tonight-
In Thee!
No idea who wrote this but i love it!
