I learned to love sailing when I lived in the Florida Keys. I remember going to Miami and seeing the most beautiful boat I had ever seen, it was docked at Dinner Key Marina and it had the name "Mayan"...I started asking around who owned this classic sailboat that looked like it was designed in the 30s. It was owned by one David Crosby, and he still owns it. For over 40 years David and his friends sailed all over the Carribean on the Mayan, and now, it's up for sale. David says he loves the boat, but can't afford to keep it any longer. I think if I could have anything on this earth, It would be this boat. Among other songs, Wooden Ships was written on this boat. It was a cruise that also included Paul Kantner from the Jefferson Airplane, who got co-writing credit for the song.. Here is a look at this most amazing sailboat. Now if I only had $ 800,000. I could buy it and sail off into the sunset.  "Wooden Ships on the water, very free and easy".
