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.
The photo reminds me of surfacing once in the middle of the Indian Ocean, though it was at sunrise, to meet a helo bringing our sub a badly needed part. The water was dead calm, just like the picture, and I saw one of the most glorious sunrises I've ever seen. We were surfaced for not more than 20 minutes. Saw nothing but the sun and the helo. It was pretty amazing.

ReplyDeleteSeen water like this a lot. Mostly happened a lot at night. Somehow made the ocean even scarier than when the waves were crashing
