Yeah!  Another good one is "It's all part of god's plan" when something goes wrong.  Why did that ferry sink and 250 people drown?...It's all part of god's plan.  \nNice plan, god.  What else ya got up your sleve?

Probably middle english. Before the advent of the center fixed swinging rudder ( 14th C. ) rudders were attached externally to the rear , aft ( short for after ?), section of the vessel. \nThe Steerboard would preferably be on the side of the vessel not tied to a quay or pier.  The other side might be " port" if it is the adjacent side to where the vessel ties up. \nThat is just my guess. \nBow, I don't know.

Against the Wind\n\nBTW: He was advised not to include these lyrics as he had written them. His advisors (producer I suppose) wanted something more conventional like "wish I had known then what I know now."

"there were two roads in the forest. i chose the one less traveled and that has made all the difference." \n\ni don't exactly remember who said this and the 'exact words' but this is very close. and i think this very well sums up the answer to your question.

It may mean that life is short(vacation) and you've lived your life missing out on the really good thing(Ocean=God) and no matter how much your AROUND the Ocean(God), you're not jumping in(giving yourself to Him) and you feel as though you've missed out. This is my take, anyways. I hope this helps you in life.

The expression is "too close to the wind."  It is an expression based on sail ships.  To sail upwind, a sail ship must tack, follow a zig-zag path each leg of which is only slightly up wind.  If a pilot gets too greedy and tries to sail too directly into the wind, he will stall.  That is called sailing "too close to the wind" short for "too close to the direction from which the wind is blowing."\n\nAs a saying, it means trying to accomplish too much too fast.  If you try to do too much, you can end up accomplishing nothing.

Like a suqare peg in a round hole... \nLike a harp without its strings... \nLike a sailor who sails no oceans, \nLike a bird that has no wings... \n\nWithout love, I am a desert, \nWithout love, my light is dim... \nWithout love, I have no treasures... \nWithout love, I cannot win \n\n(Without love) ... We are like ships in the night \n(Without love) ... Selling our souls down the river \nSailing away and forever our pleasure is blue.... \n\nLike a dream that has no dreamer, \nLike a cloud without a sky... \nLike a truth with no believer, \nLike a mother without a child... \n\nWithout love, I have no pleasures, \nWithout love, my light is dim... \nWithout love, I have no treasures... \nWithout love, my chance is slim \n\n(Without love) ... We are like ships in the night \n(Without love) ... Selling our souls down the river \nSailing away and forever our pleasure is blue....

This verse is part of God's talking to Job about His ability and Job's inability. In verses 8-11, God states He and He alone has the power to limit the seas movements. They can go no farther than he allows and waves can get no higher than He wants them to. Sounds like a statement to mankind also...lol

To get the maximum performance from a sailboat, you would "luff and touch her".  Meaning that you steer to the point where the sails just begin to shake, and then back off just a touch.  You would make minor adjustments from there.
