I pray to one day be able to follow the path of the men before me and learn to sail. It is something that my wife has admittedly been reluctant to accept but would be more willing to allow if we find ourselves childless in the next 10 years.
I want something to get me as far away from land and the majority of the scumbags inhabiting it WHEN the shit hits the fan. I have reserves and weapons, but I don’t know that I’ll have the stomach to fight day-in and day-out for months or possibly years (i.e. Kosovo) under a totalitarian regime like we see currently.
I come from a long line of seamen, fishermen, Naval navigators, and longshoremen. It’s a wonder I haven’t dived into it all yet.
Beautiful boat but the gelcoat in dark hulls is susceptible to fading and they absorb heat from reflecting sunlight. Lots of boaters prefer white hulls.
Great article and great pic Matt! For all the peppers who think you are gonna live high off the hog in the mountain cabin, well, good luck with that. Between the lone snipers and mad max gangs all trying to take your stuff I don’t think it’s going to be easy street.
I live on my 30’ sailboat. I have been stocking it to survive for 6+ months WAY off shore. Solar, food, water, fishing gear, Ect. Ect. I can formulate a plan to come back to mother ussa, or head “down island”. After the cannibals rage subsides.
On another note, isn’t it amazing that this is a serious conversation? How quickly America has changed.
Most Excellent!
Thanks you!
Ping. Have y’all met?
Matt....do you have any suggestions about schools...that I could contact down there?
FRegards,
Good job!!
