If a man must be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as good as
anything, perhaps a bit better than most. A sailing craft is not only
beautiful, it is seductive and full of strange promise and a hint of
trouble. If it happens to be an auxilary cruising boat, 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 like a fish or a girl,
and in which the home owner can remove his daily affairs as far from
the shore as he has the nerve to take them, close hauled or running free
- parlor, bedroom, and bath, suspended and alive.

Beautiful.... something to warm your heart with two more months to wait
until splash time.
