Friendship

"THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF SHIPS. THERE ARE WOODEN SHIPS ,PLASTIC SHIPS, AND METAL SHIPS. BUT THE BEST AND MOST IMPORTAINT TYPES OF SHIPS ARE FRIENDSHIPS."- OLD IRISH QUOTE

There are those who pass like ships in the night, who meet for a moment, then sail out of sight with never a backward glance of regret; folks we know briefly then quickly forget. Then there are friends who sail together, through quiet waters and stormy weather, helping eachother though joy and through strife. And they are the kind who give meaning to life.”

'And there those who sail together on a ship and become friends; to friendship' Po Chang

Po Chang ???

Pai Chang ( one of the first Chinese Master of Zen) was given the name Po Chang by Tao-Chih (His Buddhist Master).
It meant: (he who bears the) Ocean (of wisdom in his ) Bosom.
Some of his writings include:
“A day without work is a day without food,”“Don’t cling, don’t seek,”
“When hungry, eat; when thirsty, drink; when tired, sleep.”
“What is the Buddha Nature?” Master Po-chang answered, “It is like seeking for an ox while you are yourself on it.”
‘ What is there that is extraordinary sitting alone on a mountain’

Po Chang was also the name I used (also given to me by Ray) for many years when playing Yi Jing with friends; we used to have great fun at parties at my place …
Neighbours, friends would just drop by to get a reading from Po Chang and Ray… (wine, food included). We would come up with incredible interpretations of the numbers with beautiful explanations in regards to the reading … biased to the situation but with laughters and joy form all involved: the reader, the read to, the friends …
Many years of me being Po Chang ( cork of a bottle in the water following the current, i.e. Let it Be, Go, Do) and a big plus: the Chang monasteries were the first to promote the ‘do it’… in replacement of the traditional Buddhist way of life which was to ask for food, clothes, etc).

Bosom meaning
adj : very close in friendship or affection; "a bosom buddy"; "an intimate friendship" [syn: bosom, intimate]n 1: (archaic) the chest considered as the place where secret thoughts are kept; "his bosom was bursting with the secret"hehehe

Quotes

«La mer et les dieux n'aiment pas la hâte excessive» Bernard Moitessier.

It was JRR Tolkien who said, "Not all who wander are lost."

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” M Twain.

"Land was created to provide a place for boats to visit." -Brooks Atkinson

” Noah was a brave man to sail in a wooden boat with two termites.”

How can I get lost? I don't know where I'm going! We are all HERE, because we are not all THERE.

Cruisers don't have plans, just intentions.

There are three sorts of people; those who are alive, those who are dead, and those who are at sea.

"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."-
Lee Allred

"The sea finds out everything you did wrong."-
Anne Davison

"Men in a ship are always looking up, and men ashore are usually looking down."-Joshua Slocum "

At sea, I learned how little a person needs, not how much."Webb Chiles

"Sailors, with their built in sense of order, service and discipline, should really be running the world."

On Engines:

"Long ocean passages usually don't require engines; it's the ports and headlands at each end that may demand some expert sailing." -Hal Roth

"At last, the god-damned engine is quiet!" -William Snaith

"He was now convinced that the most valuable sail on board was the diesel." -Ray Kauffman

"The only reason that Uldra's engine never failed was because she did not have one." -Dennis Puleston

"I can't wait for the oil wells to run dry, for the last gob of black, sticky muck to come oozing out of some remote well. Then the glory of sail will return." -Triston Jones

On Weather:

"Headwinds are sore vexations and the more passengers the sorer." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Confronting a storm is like fighting God. All the powers in the universe seem to be against you and, in an exraordinary way, your irrelevance is at the same time both humbling and exalting." -Franciose LeGrande

"I once knew a writer who, after saying beautiful things about the sea, passed through a Pacific hurricane, and he became a changed man." -Joshua Slocum

"The pleasures of being becalmed became threadbare; there is a limit to untutored star gazing." -Charles Landery

"Off Cape Horn there are but two kinds of weather, neither one of them a pleasant kind." -John Masefield

"There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes." -Old Norwegian Adage

"I loved cruising the coast of Maine. For one thing, it helped me conquer my fear of fog. Not that I have learned to feel secure in the fog, but at least I have learned how to grope without panic." -Herb Payson

"Being hove to in a long gale is the most boring way of being terrified I know." -Donald Hamilton

"Below 50 degrees south there is no law. Below 60 degrees south there is no God." -Old Sailors Adage

"I hate storms, but calms undermine my spirits." -Bernard Moitessier

"It's scary to have a 30 foot wave chasing you. If you are steering, you don't look back. The crew looks back for you, and you watch their faces. When they look straight up, then get ready!" -Magnus Olsson

"Wind is to us what money is to life on shore." -Sterling Hayden

"I don't know who named them swells. There's nothing swell about them. They should have named them awfuls." -Hugo Vihlen
