a Philosophy of Boats

 

Boats are important to us.

 

We love them as examples of technology and design, as works of art, as expressions of individuality, as vehicles, as tools, and as homes.

From them we gain a focal point in our day-to-day lives.

With them we achieve a way of life closely interwoven with nature.

We gain a perspective apart from the overcrowded mainstream. We find an appreciation of people at their best, revealed with clarity as they shape their hopes, intentions, and skills around the elemental forces which support, propel, inspire, and sometimes attempt to destroy them.
