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.
A teeny bit of research and this looks like a 30m sloop (on the large side) and worth 10s of millions. Most sloops you can sail solo, but this definitely looks like a crewed boat, or at least sailed most conveniently with a small crew.
We've got a 80 ft blow boat in the yard, the variable pitch prop & it's shaft is seized up. Evidently when they built it they only used enough lube for assembly & didn't grease it properly. The boat is 4 months old. Gonna be very expensive.
So where's Ripley and when does the alien come ripping out of somebody's chest? (Yeah, I know. Joseph Conrad story probably source of the boat's name.)

ReplyDeleteThe Nostromo! Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's all fun and games until a crustacean attaches itself to your face.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw that much water coming onto the boat I would be heading to the head before I shat myself. I'LL be keeping my feet planted on Terra Furma
