INSPIRING SHIP CAPTAIN QUOTES! CAPTAIN'S LOG #9
INSPIRATION ON THE SEVEN SEAS!
THE CAPTAIN IS CALLED TO SEA!!
“The last captain called to sea again
Sails intrepid forward
The waves they rock
But he cares not
He need only follow the stars
Looking down at that compass
Would just lead him astray
His great old vessel
Done in by monsters, maelstroms,
Tidal waves
Foundering toward lost Atlantis
But by ancient stars
Burning oh so bright
And sails high and strong
He’ll catch the gale
That will take him there
Out where he belongs
Not a distant shore
But heaven’s door
One with the sublime
Another bright light
In the starry night
Shining with
True greatness”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

Fascinating in the fact on how each and every time you leave the dock for the Open Seas an entirely new experience emerges!! It fascinates the imagination!
"THE CAPTAIN'S!" LOG! A STATEMENT OF PURPOSE!!
Quite a few maritime quotes focus on how the sea can change you and your worldview. Thoreau may have found himself at Walden Pond, but other writers and explorers discovered their philosophies on the high seas. Nothing will teach you more lessons than the ocean. You may learn that you don’t need much to be happy, or you might figure out that there are certain things you simply can’t control. The best you can do is be prepared.
WHY THESE QUOTES?
Ship captain quotes can make you laugh, inspire you to dream and cause you to stop and think about your charted course both on the sea as well as in your life. Every sailor worth his or her salt has a few maritime quotes to live by if only to get through the seemingly endless days at sea. With nothing but water around you and the horizon in the distance, sometimes you need to read something cheeky or thought-provoking.
Many ship captain quotes break down what it means to be an excellent sailor. Ship captains are a different breed. They rely on both intuition and skill, and they never set out to sea unless they’re fully prepared. The best quotes illustrate the balance between instincts and expertise.
Let's keep learning from these FANTASTIC QUOTES!!
Pursue Open Waters; (and an awesome CAPTAIN'S quote!)
