The origin of Messing About In Sailboats

  • The original quote is from Kenneth Grahame's Wind In the Willows: "There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Just so you know...

I hear through the grapevine from someone who was with Sir Robin yesterday that he knows about all the buzz online about RKJ Day and was very touched by it.

I met Robin Knox Johnstone in April. He gave a talk about his life and experience of rounding the globe solo.

He really is an extraordinary man. So down to earth and unaffected by the attention. Due to his words about modern chartplotters etc, I rewrite this post with RKJ in mind.

I hope you enjoy it
