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.
really never wanted to go on a cruise myself. kind of like being in prison with a chance of drowning. besides, my dad was in the navy and the stories he told us about storms at sea, no thanks. as he called "the fucking navy" any time he was asked about the navy. BTW, the man had a navy cross and 14 battle stars and a bunch of other medals from his time in WW2 and Korea. we found that bit out when he was buried . but he did hate the navy ! changed his last name a bit and dodged the army. what to know why ? he didn't want to wear a tie. no shit. he hated ties.
I was on a cruise once in Asia. I was fine afterwards but wouldn't do it again.. just dull. And vessels that size don't use sea anchors or drogues.. that's only for small ships.. usually sailboats. They are built with stabilizers.. which this tub obviously wasn't using.
Why are there no seat belts for the bed? Cruise ships are like islands, once aboard there's no where to go but circles with no land in site for a while, will pass on that experience.

I can understand the feeling about ties...
DeleteCruise ships = plague ships. everyone I know who has been on a cruise has been sick afterwards.
ReplyDeleteOne of my uncles died of something he caught on a cruise that his gold-bricking second wife talked him into going on.
DeleteThe skipper has her pointed wrong and is likely does not have a sea anchor or drougue in the water.

ReplyDeleteCruise ships today are not suited for heavy weather, with satellite tracking they are supposed to play 'keep-away' with heavy weather.
ReplyDeleteThe past four years of Biden/Harris felt exactly like this to me.
ReplyDeleteFloundering.
ReplyDeleteA ship founders, humans however can flail around (floundering) ...not picking on you, just thought you might want to know.
DeleteI was talking about the guy in the water 😜
DeleteCaptain must be a dei hire.
ReplyDeleteIIRC this ship is not under power and in distress. Video was taken by the coasties doing the SAR

ReplyDeleteI was stationed on a Coontz Class destroyer. We did a lot of that motion. She was top heavy, just the way I like 'em.
