    Finding a boat, learning the basics

    Haha. I know Boat stands for Bust Out Another Thousand. :P I'm hoping to save up about $4000-$5000 and then find a boat in decent shape and keep a couple $1500 or so aside for needed repairs. Not a lot of budget to work with, but I always loved pulling things off by the skin of my ass. Thanks...

    Finding a boat, learning the basics

    Thanks Michael. For some reason I was tunnel vision focused on learning to sail before I got a boat, for some reason. I guess I wanted to jump on my baby and go. Never actually thought of learning to sail AFTER I got the boat. :P Over eager I guess. Still, if at all possible, I'd like to learn...

    Hey Mates! So, after much soul searching, life reassembling, suicidal thoughts, and internal monolouge, I have come to the conclusion that it is time to give up land travel and take to the seas! I am learning as much as possible, and gathering dollaz with much haste so as to be able to buy a...

    Pros and cons of hitching a ride

    Pros: You get to meet a lot of really laid-back, cool people who give you money and treat you like a minor celebrity.

    No, no you can't. All it takes is one 100yr eathquake, one incorrect mathematical equation, one unaccounted for variable and you've poluted the largest freshwater lakes in the world so thoroughly that they are useful for nothing ever again. Fuck that.

    The logistics of couchsurfing + hitchhiking

    There have been times when I have gotten a ride, literally, to my own front door. Other times, I can't seem to go in a specific DIRECTION, let alone to a specific town. You will end up sleeping on the roadside or camping out eventually. The first time I had to do it I was terrified, but in...

    It's always scary the first time. And the second time. And the third time. But value those times, because eventually traveling will become routine. The more flexible your "plans" are the more fun you'll have. Much luck and good fortune.
