Sailors Sayings Needed

[rusky]

"Wind before rain, you'll soon set sail again" meaning quick sharp squall and "Rain before wind, your topsail halyards mind!" meaning a prolonged set.

This one works, unlike the old "Red sky at morn ==>sailor take warning" which means clouds and dust in the sky!

how bout-"Sail by braille"?
"admirals and a-holes stand in the companionway"
"ready about-bout ready?" Emma-lee!

"The charm of singlehanded cruising is not solitude, but independence."
Claud Worth
"It is as hard to describe the fascination of the sea as to explain the beauty of a woman, for, to each man, either it is self-evident, or no argument can help him see it."
Claud Worth 1926
