Quotes by Robin Knox-Johnston (?)

“My mother, when asked for her opinion of the voyage before I sailed, had replied that she considered it ‘totally irresponsible’ and on this Christmas Day I began to think she was right. I was sailing round the world simply because I bloody well wanted to – and, I realized, I was thoroughly enjoying myself.”

“Of course, for a seaman, next to being actually at sea, the greatest enjoyment comes from preparing the boat for a voyage.”

“Still, whatever you do in life there are always people who take a delight in telling you you’re wrong, who raise a difficulty for every solution; happily this sort of advice more often than not comes from those”
