Sailing Related Equipment

"Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or threee, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail."

- Henry David Thoreau Walden in the Chapter "Where I lived"
