I’d keep the old Morgan and be in the Bahamas so fast....
I know, right?! It's already set up to single-hand. Roller reefing and all. All he really needs is a desalinator and maybe some solar panels. The dang thing only draws like 4 feet or less and it's got a full length keel instead of a dagger skeg. Yeah it lumbers along on a light breeze and you can barely feel the wheel, but it seems an almost ideal survival vehicle. But then again, he is a shrink and he usually casts a long sideways glance at me when I point out some imminency to the threats. He loves a good conspiracy and he always loved to be a "prepper" but it was for fun (to him). He doesn't like to think about it all really coming to pass in the "here and now." His dad flew the "Hump" over Burma in WWII and everywhere he landed he picked up a Colt 45 or some other gun for about $10. Left his kid a prodigious collection. Everything from a pre-64 Winchester .375 H&H magnum (the old man always called it his "engine room" gun) to S&W M41 in 22LR (match grade). Everything in between. The old man and I were close because we were always talking guns all the time, from the time I was in about the 6th grade. He was a great guy. He passed a number of years ago, God Bless his soul.
