To leave one's home (port/harbor) and the safety/comfort/routine it provides so to experience what the outside world can offer and to face all its unknowns.
It's finding out what's inside of you by comparison to a boat. Like most Aquas, they float real well in a harbor. It's when they're in a rough sea that you discover how well they were designed (or not). Just like real people, they're not meant to stay just "at home".

I like the quote. To me, it's more like looking at a nice sports car parked in a driveway. Until you get it on the drag-strip, you don't know what it's made of.


To add to this- I've had my aqua in a rough sea (and a rough harbor), found out what it's made of, and now I just stick to lakes and rivers, and 3/4 throttle is too fast.
