    If you get a chance, Take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said that it'd be easy, They just promised it would be worth it.

    "The cure for anything is saltwater - sweat, tears, or the sea." - Isak Dinesen

    Some Sailing related:

    "I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
    - Oliver Wendel Holmes

    "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. " - William A. Ward

    "At sea, I learned how little a person needs, not how much." - Robin Lee Graham

    Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

    It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing,
    8 weeks for your friends to notice, and
    12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice.
    Don’t QUIT!

    this is what has kept me going.

    My favorite is, "When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on tight." I think that was Eleanor Roosevelt who said it. I can't remember for sure.
