A lovely sentiment

As the snow melts and sailing again seems possible, I ran across this quote and it seemed worth passing along:

"A small craft is not only beautiful; it is seductive and full of strange promise and a hint of trouble. It is without question the most compact and ingenious arrangement for living ever devised by the restless mind of Man. A home that is stable without being stationary, shaped less like a box than a fish, or a girl, and in which a homeowner can remove his daily affairs as far from shore as he has the nerve to. Close hauled or running free - parlor, bedroom, and bath, suspended and alive."

E.B. White
