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.
Fantastic!

ReplyDelete26 paddlers per side. 2.5' per paddler. Add 16 - 20' to overall length. I figure up to 85' LOA
ReplyDeleteNeeds more whips and whippers!
ReplyDeleteNice timing. Short strokes don't seem so effective
ReplyDeleteLong strong with short paddles interfere with your mates fore and aft. A slow beat is always a challenge. Guys fall out of phase.
DeleteI used to race outriggers. It was a blast, a lot of fun. Great exercise.
A fast stroke develops incredible speed in a hurry.
Please, no jokes from the deviants.
