Well, one of these days, when I have my own boat to live on, I too will have a collection of weapons. Also, more books and a ship’s cat.
(I’ve decided this is preferable to having a house, as one can easily sail wherever they want to go, while flying is both no fun and, recently, a pain. I just need a paying excuse. Perhaps if my writing or comic-book career takes off..you can make lots of money writing swashbuckle novels.)
This will be a wooden boat, with sails, so I’ll need a crew. Bill can come, and also when the youngest boys are old enough they can live aboard over the summer, and thus learn about sailing. It will be fun, and way better than having a place that doesn’t go anywhere.
When we were in Oregon, we looked for sloops and other small vessels that had been siezed in drug raids. There were quite a few that I would loved to have had.
But...
One thing for sure: a vessel will certainly help the wanderlust! Good luck on your ideals. They seem reachable to me, for sure!
