That’s the thing I think about a boat. Freedom. Motorcycle and car people talk about the freedom of the open road. But motorcycles and cars are bound by the highways, roads, alleys and trails made to facilitate them. A boat’s path is chosen solely by the captain, and in open water the rules are only those of common sense and self-preservation. Go fast or slow, north, south, east or west – in to port or out to sea. Or just sit completely still. Freedom. I created this blog to spend more time with boats and meet more boating people and in a way, to have more freedom. I hope you enjoy it.
