So here it is my long term plan. with the collapse of the American and world economies there is a nitch opening up for the movers and shakers with nothing really holding them back from greatness.
Being from and raised in Seattle i have alwase been close to the water i have alwase been fascinated by pirates and boats I am a pretty ingenious and resourceful person when it comes to making shit work especially when its a mode of transportation.
there has been alot of people unable/unwilling to keep paying for there boats as well as there land expenses so they have been scuddling there boats left and right all over the country (scuddling means towing or motoring/sailing your boat out away from people or authorities and sinking the craft to rid ones self of the financial obligations and in some cases even reaping the insurance from sinking it thus turning a rarely used money pit into a quick and fairly large check) but most times these people are retards and cant even do that right so what happens? the boat comes back! washing up on shore in some waterway or cove and sometimes even damaging others boats and property often costing 1000's of tax payers dollars in removal, storage and disposal (cutting up) there is a modern day name for what i propose its called salvateur a salvateur salvages marine vessels and/or gear from sunken/wrecked/abandoned vessels often a license for this kind of business ir fairly easy and cheap to obtain - or you can just go nomad and then your a "pirate" taking whatever you find to be easy and accessible to use for your own ends. cause after all what would San Francisco county care if 10 dirty street kids dug this vessle out of the beach and sailed it away? >>> Arte de San Pancho: S.F.: Sailboat trucked away from Ocean Beach Jonathan Curiel Monday, January 26, 2009
sailing is not hard to do its just a conglomeration of your 5 senses wind on your face, barometric pressure felt in your inner ear, visualy inspecting the telltales of your jib and the luff of your main sail, feeling the tack line with your hands, its all common sense if you can hop a train chances are you can crew a sailboat. living in dirty cramped spaces eating whatever is not rotten, drinking till you puke and then drinking more, days and days on end with little sleep to get to your destination, living off foodstamps, all these skills you have from a land lubber traveling life are usefull to the life aquatic.
theres some really nice sailboats getting scuttled all over the us and the rest of the world the US is really the only country that sees this as a problem >>> Sailing Vessel Snow Goose
with less and less jobs and more and more people ending up forclosed on and evicted there is a shitload of people looking for alternative housing options and if you walk into any marian and ask if they have "liveaboard slips" available they will most defiantly say "no more liveaboards, were all ready at capacity" but there is nothing illegal about living "off the chain" - boat anchored out of shipping lanes, and away from anything it could drift into and damage. the coastal waterways (excluding ones like the Hudson river and the SF bay) there is not a bunch of hot head water going cops looking for dirty rotten squatters with no titles to the boat they are living on - they dont care!!! as long as your not shooting wildlife or otehr boaters or polluting the water they don't give a shit what you do.
i originaly came east to find thease places >>> Charleston Waterkeeper
the pacific ocean is too rugged to salve unlicensed and the mariners are not as stupid - 9/10 times they succeed in sinking there boat. eastern mariners are stupider and there is more inland salt waterways for a boat to sit unnoticed for days, weeks and even years - just do a google search for "abandoned boats" or "derelict boats" the results wile only on a few pages are still staggering - AND THESE ARE ONLY THE KNOWN VESSELS!!! there are still 10's of 1000's of undiscovered boats all over not just in the gulf of Mexico and the eastern US seaboard bot all over the caribbean!!!
LOOK AT THIS!!! >>> Derelict boat in Naniamo - DPNow Photo Gallery can you immagine yourself and 8 others crewing this all around the eastern seaboard and the Caribbean in search of salvageable boats? towing the good ones to a secret haven to fix them up or taking all usable gear off the too-far-gone boats and sinking the rest of the hulk?
or say a vessel that cannot be salved in any way nor offer any usable gear or rigging can be used as an offshore aquatic squat like the offshore drill platforms there is some fairly large hulks that can still be used as a home away from the water . . . or something . . . whatever just search through this link. >>> Abandoned Vessel Inventory | NOAA's Ocean Service Office of Response and Restoration
nevermind the ones like the Dutchman if its on the bottom its not worth a duck fart.
some like the Be??trix can be dove with home made air bags and pumped full to raise them again and then we could determine if they should be fixed or properly re sunk.
think about it . . .
and aside from boats put all your creative skills together: homebrew alcohols, leather working, sewing, art, herbalism, horticulture, WHATEVER!! imagine sailing into some port and we pay our 10$ a day guest moorage for 3 or 4 days and you set up a booth and sell your shit to the locals, we offer our services, fibreglass patching of others boats, in water hull scrubs, mast ascention to re wire deck lighting and or communications arrays or the directional wind teltale. i/we just need a starter vessel and a crew to start this off and the skys the limit - I'm not fucking joking!!!
real deal pirates of the caribbean lets fucking do this shit!!!!!!!!!
Come and crew with me!!!:crew:
