Let your dreams set sail
Lighthouse of Dreams
Time spent on the water is not deducted from one's lifespan.
Toute une mer immense où fuyaient des galères. A boundless sea where galleys were in flight.
Ils regardaient monter en un ciel ignoré Du fond de l'Ocean des étoiles nouvelles. They saw new stars emerging from the ocean and rising toward an unknown sky.
What bliss to be in the cockpit with the sun and the warm breeze on one's skin, just watchin? the sea, and the sky, and the sails
La mer, la mer toujours recommencée! The sea, the sea that ever starts anew!
A ship on the beach is a lighthouse to the sea
Ships are the nearest things to dreams that hands have ever made.
By the Sea, By the Sea, By the beautiful sea
Dreams Are Made on Sailing Days
Memories Are Made on Sailing Days
Never, But Never Question The Captain's Judgement
