Navigare vivere est?

[AngusMcDoon]

So it says on my boat crockery. What language, and what does it mean?

Anyone know where I can get a replacement plate from? I stood on one, and it didn't like it.

Looks like latin to me.
Rough translation - life is sailing

Yep, Latin. To sail is to live?

I have seen frig magnets with 'Navigare necesite est' - to sail is essential.

The one I like is 'Days spent sailing do not count towards your lifespan'.

I like the car stickers that say "Work is for people who don't know how to sail".

Original sentence is as follows:

Navigare necesse est, vivere non est necesse!

said Marco Antonius when laid on Cleopatra! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

....which means that "Sailing is necessary; living is not" or,
as we say down here
"Sail now, work later"!

Fair Winds!
