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.
Well, what can I say? They only conned me into one weekend sailing up by Pax River in that summer and I decorated the rail as seen above but the water going in my forward ear was about 33degrees and only slightly warmer coming out my trailing ear. Went back to racing lasers and 420s after that.
It does look cold...
ReplyDeletebecause it is.
DeleteTypical summer racing in Chesapeake Bay.
ReplyDeleteSummer day racing in the Chessie? As in Maryland?

Looks like a trans-Atlantic race to Bermuda myself (as I was once a forward deck hand on one).
Why racing? All that windward rail meat. Why Atlantic (could be anywhere sailing in the cold) but my guess.
...And Wet !
