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.
That "dingy" could easily sail around the world provided you stay in the lower latitudes. That is a Fountaine Pajot Taiti 80. 80ft sailing catamaran. They are usually setup for tours and day charters but can and have been converted to cruisers with 6 or more cabins. Not a bad way to sail around the world.
"Got out of town on a boat going to the Southern islands Sailing a reach before a following sea She was making for the trades on the outside and the downhill run to Papeete. Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas We got eighty feet af the waterline Nicely making way..."

Beautiful catamaran. I’ve sailed in the Tasman and South Pacific. Not for the faint of heart in high seas.

Sailing a reach before a following sea
She was making for the trades on the outside
and the downhill run to Papeete.
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet af the waterline
Nicely making way..."
