I think that's already been done. There are waiting lists for
Captain
Ron entry permits.

Actually, I did think it might be a mildly interesting part of a
thriller novel if it was realistic. I am a poor writer of fiction so
somebody else should write it. My writing is mostly techie things (ok,
those are mostly fictitious too but not intentionally) and would be
unable to make it interesting. I could write pages on the mathmematics
of radar cross section but would anybody read it?
I also think a sorta "whodunit" involving the long distance cruising
community could be interesting as it would mix the sociology of
cruisers with (maybe) a good story. I reserve the screen rights.
As far as disappearing goes, it might be easier on land. Remember Eric
Rudolph? That was in N. Carolina where it gets cold. I think I could
walk into the N. Florida woods and disappear for a year or two if
necessary.
I also think some of the psychology of cruising involves "disappearing"
(never trust pop psychology from a physics geek)from society.
