From a little boat, to a big boat, to a helicopter, to an airplane. (Quote by - Kevin Johnson)

Don't apologize, Maurice, . I'll get the Guard coordination onto it from this end right away. Boats… damn', we should have had more BOATS ready, dammit. Helicopters, though. (Quote by - Steve Black)

Boating is a healthy family activity that builds skills and fosters team buildings. Studies show that kids benefit from boating -- and beside, the Spring Boating Expo is a fun alternative to these cold winter days. (Quote by - Van Snider)

I was born in the breezes, and I had studied the sea as perhaps few men have studied it, neglecting all else. (Quote by - Joshua Slocum)

Basically my wife was immature. I'd be at home in the bath and she'd come in and sink my boats. (Quote by - Woody Allen)

My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, "Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.". (Quote by - Paula Poundstone)

The biggest danger in sailing is not the open ocean. It's hitting things. So if I have a thousand miles between me and land, a storm doesn't really upset me. If the boat's set up right, you get beat up a little bit, but the boat's going to handle it fine. (Quote by - John Moffitt)

It is a curious sensation: the sort of pain that goes mercifully beyond our powers of feeling. When your heart is broken, your boats are burned: nothing matters any more. It is the end of happiness and the beginning of peace. (Quote by - George Bernard Shaw)

The summer parallel is the fishing boat, and we just have to get people to understand that concept. We are the wintertime fishing boat. (Quote by - Tom Lykken)

A small craft in an ocean is, or should be, a benevolent dictatorship. (Quote by - Tristan Jones)

Certainly we've had some stints where we averaged over 25 knots for an hour, and then you're up to the 600-mile day scenario. A lot of the guys here were the first to do 500 miles, and it would be nice to get the 600 but as always we're here to win points. We keep reminding ourselves that we don't need to win this leg where perhaps other boats do, and so we mustn't allow ourselves to be pressured into pushing the boat too hard. (Quote by - Mike Sanderson)

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Give him a fishing lesson and he'll sit in a boat drinking beer every weekend. (Quote by - Alex Blackwell)

Well, trepidation could be the term for it. Yes, we'll definitely exercise some judgment and caution with these boats. The typical Southern Ocean conditions will be rough for these boats. I think we know a little bit about them now, to be able to anticipate rough conditions and adjust the setup of the boat accordingly so we don't suffer damage. (Quote by - Paul Cayard)

The objection has been that people living in the far north couldn't have gotten across the Atlantic because they didn't have boats; that they didn't venture out into the ocean ice. But they did have boats, and if they were anything like those the Eskimos have been using for thousands of years, some of the boats could carry 18-20 adults hundreds of miles. (Quote by - Dennis Stanford)

Whatever floats your boat.and doesn't sink mines. (Quote by - Brandi Keeler)

In the last race, we discovered that each boat's performance had very little to do with sailing, . It had much more to do with the leadership that we as skippers were exhibiting, and with our ability to develop the full potential of our teams. All of the skippers were extremely good yachtsmen. All of them excelled at managing the boat. But ultimately, the race is all about managing people. (Quote by - Simon Walker)

Because this is not a race all boats, regardless of their engine size can enter, the winner will be determined by the draw of the card and not how fast your boat can run. (Quote by - David Wallace)

If you can not arrive in daylight, then stand off well clear, and wait until dawn. After all, that's one of the things God made boats for to wait in. (Quote by - Tristan Jones)

They turned east and, soon after, lost the bet. The wind dropped, they missed the most favorable position to cross the Doldrums, and they slipped to eleventh place. Fed up with the conditions, members of the crew began to lose faith in their strategy. One crew member complained that he had wasted three years of his life training for the race. The solution was to reset the goal. I called the crew up on deck, and we discussed what had happened, 'We're in the eleventh position,' I told them. 'We can't think about winning. We're going to set ourselves new targets to beat as many boats as we can, one boat at a time.'. (Quote by - Simon Walker)

Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm. (Quote by - Syrus Pubilius)

Being hove to in a long gale is the most boring way of being terrified I know. (Quote by - Donald Hamilton)

We were sailing the boat faster and faster as the week went along. Boat speed is always the key and we were able to come back in a bunch of races. We were real deep today and worked our way through the fleet. (Quote by - Russell Coutts)

I believe that the captain started to try to steer into the waves from this speedboat. When he turned, the left side of our boat, and the front of the boat, started to take on water. This caused the boat to roll over very quickly, throwing everyone into the water. (Quote by - Russell Quick)

There's a big charter boat in San Diego. I wake up at 5 o'clock in the morning, get on the charter boats and won't come back until the next day. (Quote by - Joel Zumaya)

I took it from the AC Acts. I like change and taking people out of the comfort zone. It makes them better. If two boats are fun, six boats are a show. I have always thought it was a waste of great talent to have 6 of the 10 sitting around with nothing to do on the last day. Now they will have fun, fight for money and provide a greater spectacle. (Quote by - Randy Smith)

The important aspect of this show is the number of boats. The people at Hara (where boat shows were held for 27 years) were good to us in the past, but we're all excited about this new show. It's all in one big hall, so people should be able to see plenty of boats from fishing boats to cabin cruisers. (Quote by - Chad Taylor)

Anyone desperate enough for suicide.should be desperate enough to go to creative extremes to solve problems: elope at midnight, stow away on the boat to New Zealand and start over, do what they always wanted to do but were afraid to try. (Quote by - Richard Bach)

If you can't repair it, maybe it shouldn't be on board. (Quote by - Lin and Larry Pardey)

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea. (Quote by - Joseph Conrad)

I'm happy every time we can go out and execute our race plan well. It was a good start because each boat went out and raced with the type of speed they'll need to when they face some of our tougher competitors, even when they got some separation from the boat next to them. I definitely think we have more speed ? we'll find it. (Quote by - James Egan)

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 call me 'a guy who likes to boat'. (Quote by - Mitch Hedberg)

Did he fall overboard? Did he just walk off the boat and disappear? Was it accidental, was it deliberate?

The hardest thing to remember is that what we each really want is the truth of our lives, good or bad.

Let go of saving the boat and save the passengers instead. (Quote by - Kenny Loggins)

I hate that we ended up with 71 boats, but we did the right thing. I can understand why a lot of guys didn't want to go.

(Quote by - Bobby Carter)

With a very confused sea and the boat slamming into the waves, crawling through the boat is probably the safest way of moving around, because the movements are very abrupt and unexpected. (Quote by - Bouwe Bekking)

The days pass happily with me wherever my ship sails. (Quote by - Joshua Slocum)

Whenever your preparations for the sea are poor; the sea worms its way in and finds the problems. (Quote by - Francis Stokes)

Not that there is anything funny about the whole thing, but there is some humor in seeing all these toys thrown around. Those who can afford to have a boat aren't at risk because we lost our boat.
