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? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Plenty of room. Just wait for high tide and you can pull the boat out of the water and unload it on the road. Plenty of room on the roads for at least 15-20 decent sized boats.
Photo is at low tide, of course. High tide will come up to near the bottom of that little shack.
I wonder what the National Tree is for the Faroe Islands? (I don't think there *are* any trees in the Faroes... as least I can't recall seeing any in the pics, which makes me wonder where the lumber comes from for their houses.)
On other islands like the Faroes the houses are built partially from disassembled wrecks. There are a few islands that the roofs are actually upside down hulls on short walls.
Or more. High tide would be under that white building. Low tide is about when the photo is taken.
Lived on the California coast when I was young. And the marina my dad had his boat at would lift the boats over the water and lower them to the top of the swells and release. Made for quite a wild ride if the seastate was 'frisky'.
Looks like room for one ship at a time at the dock and it either backs in or backs out.

ReplyDeleteThink about that Stanley. Maybe that's where all of the trees went... Hmmm? (Insert Appropriate Smiley Face Here) Cheers

DeleteDoesn't it have a 14 foot tide?

That's a town that smuggling built. ;)
ReplyDeleteA neat, snug, and seemingly prosperous village. What is the industry or business there? Can fishing support such a modest but nice accommodation?
