johnb Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 In another thread, Senator has stated that he and his wife are moving their boat to "pastures new". I am sure we all wish them well, however, this didn't seem to me to be a suitably nautical phrase. Can anyone suggest another more relevant to a new start with a boat/ I thought of "To new moorings and calmer waters" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 How about "uncharted waters"?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Why not just say where you are going? Unless the creditors are snapping at your heels! In which case it should appear as a "New Berth" in the Birth, Marriages and Deaths section of the Times or Telegraph. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnb Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Should have said the original quotation is "To fresh fields and pastures new" Senator did say where they are going, they were like me, in poetic mood! After all, we are approaching 14th February, when all sensible men "hitched" in some way, should be thinking of suitable verses! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it John, "Hitched" As in "a round turn and two half hitches", or a "clove hitch", good old nautical terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
