Joshua Slocum Sailing Quotations

I was born in the breezes, and I had studied the sea as perhaps few men have studied it, neglecting all else.

If the Spray discovered no continents on her voyage, it may be that there were no more continents to be discovered. She did not seek new worlds, or sail to pow-wow about the dangers of the sea.

The days pass happily with me wherever my ship sails.

To young men contemplating a voyage I would say go.
