And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Looks like fun (albeit cold), though I'd prefer to stick to foodstuffs that didn't require utensils or crockery given those swells. Protein bars and such would be ideal.
Having sailed in rough weather I can tell you that the skipper made a big mistake by leaving the inflatable boat attached to the transom davits. It Will be washed away.
