Excerpt from Homeward Bound From the Chesapeake to the Mersey in the Schooner Yacht Nathalie, Tons
A taste for yachting is an acquired one and capable of very extended culture. The yachtsman may be said -to belong to a race of superior beings, whos'e faculties have an unbounded range, instead of a certain limited patch of earth - the entire globe is his domain. His freedom is not the freedom of a city, but a planet, and the most refined and educated man can only be enobled by its attainment.
