The previous owner of my first cruising boat said to me:

" A boat is a hole in the water into which you throw money"

It didn't take long to know exactly what he was talking about.

OH, and....Marriages performed be the Skipper of this Vessel are only good for the duration of the cruise.

During a discussion about who was the stand-on vessel:

"It doesn't matter who's right, it's who's left that matters."

3am is a lousy time to be playing anchor, anchor, who'se got the anchor.

Told to me by a friend after their 32 foot aluminum ketch dragged its anchor in some caribean mooring, causing them to back down on a reef and bending the rudder n skeg.

I've always kept that to heart, with only one exception. So guess what? I went aground. Doh!
