Messing about in boats - full text

So many who are afflicted with our addiction reference the Wind in the Willows quote. This is me. So I looked up the entire passage and then made up an 8.5 x 11 print which is framed in our pilothouse. I had to make a very few minor edits to the original and the font is custom to match our boat name font.

In case anyone is interested, I thought I’d share a photo of the quote plus share a link to the text. If you go to the share the text is in a generic font, please don’t edit, just copy or download.

For me, this passage sums up the grand total of all the posts in this forum.

The really great thing about it is that every, single word is absolutely true.
