""""I figure most places on land are going to be run over by the hordes escaping the cities. Being in a city myself, it will be a bitch just to get to a rural defensible location"""" you just need some close friends with the right tools and the proper farm land. Perhaps we should start a SI colony if the SHTF. Shootie

That's a very cool catamaran. If you're serious, get back to me. My sister was trying to sell her cat. I think it's a 41 footer. It's in very good shape too. sunnyskyadventures.com

I have a friend - when their kids were off to college, she and her husband sold everything and bought a sea going catamaran they had never sailed before - did their home work and decided on the cat because it is a calmer ride - then read and read and learned - a man who helped outfit their boat taught them quite a bit - they sailed day only at first, then as their skills improved, they went farther and farther and then everywhere did it for 7 years and loved every minute of it - oh the stories! she said charting was the most important [I guess you spend big on charts] he got sick at sea - they made it into port, but he died from a stomach aneurysm hours later she still misses that life, but can't do it alone
