If you read nothing else on this website, read this story. Hilariously funny telling of a live a board sailor's brilliant idea to solve a common boater's problem.

OUT TO SEA DAILY QUOTE! EXPERIENCES!

"Ships are the nearest things to dreams that hands have ever made, for somewhere deep in their oaken hearts the soul of a SONG is laid!" ~ Robert N. Rose

Out to Sea Yacht Club Members;

Good morning!

We all have had fascinating and memorable experiences created by our time on the waterways of this world! Here is an example of an experience missed by a sailor due to bad timing!

"If I stayed I would have witnessed something amazing..."

"I was coming on watch and the Captain ("old man') was covering the first mate's watch as he had a long night with draught survey/ stability calculations. I remembered I'd left my laundry down in the dryer and asked the Captain if he would excuse me to go and grab my laundry (1 deck down), he agreed and I went down to the laundry for 2 minutes to put my clothes in my cabin and by the time I got back to the bridge the old man exclaimed "DID YOU F--KING SEE THAT?! DID YOU F--KING SEE THAT?!!!" I said "no captain, see what?" apparently a meteor flew across the ship's bow not too far from us, in the 100 years of his and the lookout's combined years at sea they both said they had never seen anything like it. I was kicking myself, If I stayed I would have witnessed something amazing."

Very cool story!

OUT TO SEA DAILY MEMBER QUOTE + STORY TELLING!

"To desire nothing beyond what you have is surely happiness. Aboard a boat, it is frequently possible to achieve just that. That is why sailing is a way of life, one of the finest of lives." ―Carleton Mitchell

Out to Sea Club Members;

While many people think sailing is all smooth seas, sunshine, sunsets, and beautiful beaches, it’s also a lot of hard work and can be incredibly challenging.

"You start to see lights everywhere around you..."

STORY FROM AN UNKNOWN NAVIGATOR

"I've been sailing all my life and have somewhere around 6,000 sea miles as well as years and years of inland dinghy racing experience. The sea just does strange things sometimes. Wind against tide and underwater obstacles causing weird currents create unnatural waves and it starts to feel like the sea is just throwing water at you at random. Fog at sea at night really f**ks up your senses too. Everything is quiet and you can't see anything but the boat immediately around you. You keep looking for lights on other ships and listening for fog horns or the sound of engines in the distance and your brain starts playing all manner of tricks on you. In a busy shipping lane it's a serious business and in a very real way it could be life or death if you miss a ship that hits you and sinks you. You start to see lights everywhere around you. You start hearing engines creeping up on you. You stop your boat and cut the engine to see if you're hearing anything real and you enter an even stranger world of sensory deprivation. It's eerie as hell."

Safe Navigation!

SAILOR'S AND THEIR STORIES! SATURDAY MORNING READING!

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

Out to Sea Members;

The source is unknown but REAL: but the collection of Sailor's Stories is vast! Hear is just one Sailor's account of a recent experience!

"I was caught in an electrical storm while fishing..."
"I was caught in an electrical storm while fishing. This was in Lake Ontario, running 8 foot graphite rods on downriggers. I was standing on the deck watching the rods, and I noticed blue sparks start jumping from rod to rod. A split second later, lightning struck directly behind the boat. That was probably the loudest natural sound I will ever hear in my life."
