"There is nothing- absolutely nothing- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats." That's what Ratty said to Mole in Kenneth Grahame's beloved 1908 classic, The Wind in the Willows. "In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it."...Ratty continued.
