Dave,
You could do worse with a name. The words "Live Free or Die" were part of a volunteer toast that N.H. Revolutionary War hero General John Stark sent to wartime comrades, in which he declined, due to poor health, an invitation to head up a 32nd anniversary reunion of the 1777 Battle of Bennington in Vermont. The toast said in full: "Live Free Or Die; Death Is Not The Worst of Evils." The following year, a similar invitation from the group (also declined by General Stark) said: "The toast, sir, which you sent us in 1809 will continue to vibrate with unceasing pleasure in our ears, "Live Free Or Die; Death Is Not The Worst Of Evils." Much later (around 1945, I think) the words were adopted as the state motto of New Hampshire.

Maybe the C-Brat adaptation would be, "C-Dory or Swim; Being Boatless is Not the Worst of Evils."

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the history lesson. We needed you on our cruise to keep us aware of the historical signicance of what we were cruising past.

Luckily, our guidebooks did have quite a bit of history in them which we read each night. But, sounds like you really could have added to our fun.

Hope you make it if we do it again next year.

Hi Dave,

Your photos are really nice and help complete the cruise. I've added a couple that you can relate to. Otter Creek! and Mixie navigating. What with Pam driving and Mixie navigating, what did you do?

Hi Rick

I was trying to get rid of dinner any way I could. The rest of the day HAD to get better from there. And it did.
