An analogy does not create truth.
Truth begins with actual truth. Once you have established something as true, and analogy can be used to help understand it.
You have not established any truth to which the analogy of the ocean with boats in it would be a reasonable fit or descriptor.
Lee and Nee were both pretty good at doing this. They both told stories that sounded good. Then they said that some particular truth was like the story. Truth created by example.
Not from scripture.
