I love the quote, but I just hope I'm not making the wrong interpretation about what it's saying.
Answers:
Hi
the word boots in this case translates approximately to "does" What he is saying is don't fight your destiny. Wind and tide refer to things you can't change.
cheers
You can't fight nature.
accept what is, it will get you nowhere to be angry about the wind and tide
It pretty much means go with the flow and do not resist what has always been.
Accept the inevitable. A modern quote that is parallel to this is "Lord, give me the strength to accept that which I cannot change, the courage to change those things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
Another way of saying it is, "Play the hand you're dealt."
That means do the best with whatever you're given and don't waste energy fighting things like wind and tides that you have no control over.
