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.

Better to beach the boat than let it sink in the North Atlantic
She's moored all right, but just to prevent any chance of her floating off and someone else hitting her. She's been stripped, and her aft deck is full of sand.
No fishing gear aboard. Looks like an abandoned vessel that perhaps broke loose and drifted ashore. In a storm it would likely just sink. I think it floated in calm weather also because it is not battered too much and sitting high on the sand.
That must be Iceland with the black sand beach.
ReplyDeleteProbably, but could be any of a number of islands in the Aleutians, too. Many look a lot like Iceland.
DeleteThat water looks pretty still

DeleteIts moored and waiting on the tide.
