Still water is deep, the deeper the water is, the slower the flow, although the wind on the water surface is strong, the water sinking in the depths will maintain slowness... a person: in the case of difficult and troublesome, maintain a calm and peaceful attitude. Generally speaking, moving too fast, too fast, wear and die quickly. Peace will last long, so say "quiet and far".

Wish you as a big fish come out from deep water.
Hi, SB, hope you are doing well --

"Coming off the water" is an idiom that means recognizing that one is getting too old to keep taking boats out into the sea. I'm a life-long and pretty good sailor, but I'm starting to feel my age (66), and I have to be careful about the safety of people I'm with. (I usually sail alone, and I especially like high winds, so I'm kind of a disaster in the making. But I really love pushing everything to the limit, especially when sailing.) I hope you're doing well.
