The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.

We need to stop saying we can't rock this boat when it needs to be rocked.

I have been out again on the river, rowing. I find nothing new.

It's easier in some ways being on the life raft and the other guy's in the boat and you can row alongside and be supportive. In some ways, that's an easier role.

I love boats. I can be on a boat for days.

Sailing is such a variable sport. There could be no wind, or there could be 25 knots. You never know what you're going to get.

Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.

I grew up in New England at the edge of the Atlantic and have for many years been an avid rower. I've rowed in various places, including the Ganges in India, the River Shannon in Ireland, and the Sea of Galilee.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.

Sailing is a big outlet for me.
