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.
Many years ago we spent Christmas in San Felipe. The tides were very similar to this. We would tie the fishing line to the aluminum boat if we came in at low tide. Then just reel it in as allowed by rising water.
Thanks for that! Ironically enough, the last time I saw a LCT like that was just a few hundred miles away, in Bintuni Bay, Papua. We were using them to transport food and construction materials because they worked better than barges.

ReplyDeleteWhere, I wonder. Not too common to see LCTs except around the equatorial regions, in my experience & this looks like one.
