The first rule of sailing
I was surfing the Net and saw an interesting quote:
"You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
—Captain Malcolm Reynolds, Serenity (slightly edited)"
Does everyone agree?

I consider this a kind of misunderstanding. Most of people who have no idea about a boat think this way. They consider boating just a pleasure nothing else! But it's not so! it's a work, everyday work for many of us who decided to make boating our career.
I like my work but nothing about LOVE
