"...there is nothing --
absolutely nothing --
half so much worth doing as simply messing
about in boats....
or with boats....
In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter.
Nothing seems really to matter,
that's the charm of it.
Whether you get away,
or whether you don't;
whether you arrive at your destination or
whether you reach somewhere else,
or whether you never get anywhere at all,
you're always busy,
and you never do anything in particular;
and when you've done it there's always something else to do,
and you can do it if you like,
but you'd much rather not."
- Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

TIPS
For years, airline pilots have been required to file a flight plan with the FAA prior to setting off on a trip.
Although the U.S. Coast Guard does not require one, it's
a good idea to prepare a float plan and give it to a
responsible person before getting underway. If this
person has not heard from you by the date and time you
have specified on your float plan, he or she should follow your specific instructions regarding notification of your status to the local U.S.C.G. station.
Thanks Mates for making the numbers spin.
