If I had a big boat, I wouldn't be online. I'd be on my big boat.

Hi Bill. I read about her. Why she's going that direction, I have no
clue. The type of boat I would probably ultimately have is a normal
long haul sailboat, with modifications such as autopilot and other
safety/nav gear. I'm guessing all lines have to go the cockpit.

Well the whole goal of this was to be able to pick up and go anywhere.
Not reliant upon anybody. Of course, having some people on board from
time to time will help, but I doubt they will know what to do, and I
certainly can't rely on my friends.

Hopefully modern boats can afford me some kind of reasonable speed with
comfort. I see myself bobbing around the Caribbean a lot, going
nowhere. But if I want to go check out the Pacific via Panama, I don't
want to be too slow.

A fine balance between moving and living.
