OK...so burn your house down and move into a tepee on the empty lot.
Don't forget to close off the water/sewer lines.

As to trying to convert me to your chosen lifestyle...you sound like a
lot of religious fundamentalists (pick any religion you want). "You

Hi Thrasher:

Gezz. I did not think eating oatmeal and soymilk would get you so
upset.

I would not like to see your reaction when something important happens.

As far as the whole high v. low tech sailing philosophy you might want
to read some of that drive-by-mainstream-media for an interesting
discusssion on this topic. The article describes how a guy basically
spent his two week island cruise fixing the refer and other stuff. If I
remember right, it was printed in that liberal-tree hugging-commie rag
titled Cruising World a few months back.

Besides, most of us have, at one time or another, watched somebody
toiling over a task that you knew how to do safer, faster, cheaper, and
easier. True...no?

As I said earlier I neither have the money to hire someone to fix a
refer, the knowledge to do it myself, nor the desire to spend any more
time mucking about elbow deep in work.
So I chose to eat oatmeal and soymilk, raw or boiled fish, cabbage,
carrots, onions, pasta, and drink crisp 80 degree beer. Travel light-
Travel easy-Travel fast.

So I'll end here and hope that somebody can help the guy fix his
refrigerator. Personally I don't have one. I have better things to do
than fix stuff on a boat.
