SV Why Knot- No plan, no schedule, no destination.
The passing of my life mate has ended the cruise of Why Knot. Thanks to those that followed her voyages. It gave us wonderful memories and a heck of a life

Our greatest challenge was to actually bring in the dock
lines at our home port and get going. Next came the actual
act of living aboard which is way different than weekending or
the occasional extended sail. This is life avoiding causing your
mate to drop stuff or run into bulkheads. This is having so much
stuff aboard that one has to inventory. This is life without land
transportation in strange places. This is meeting folks and hating
to say good bye, then looking forward to the time when courses cross
again, to the surprise of seeing them at some unexpected place.

It was just 175 years ago today that another chapter of America’s character was written. Like those before and countless since, a company sized group of soldiers decided to stand and fight for liberty. They knew the outcome not long after occupying a ragged church but they chose, willingly, to make a tactical decision which would lead to the ultimate defeat of the oppressor. They chose to pay the “last full measure” so that future generations could live in freedom. They would never know how far their dreams would take the land which they fought for. They would never know they were contributing in no small way to a nation that became the greatest nation on Earth. It is because of those soldiers that we fly the Texas flag from Why Knot’s spreader every day. REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
