I've just been reading a blog on a guy who ditched his job, bought a boat and sailed off to the Bahamas
If you did that, where would you go and what would you take with you? Besides the obvious necessary sailing equipment, I mean like personal effects.

Alt Q: what trait/ability from the animal kingdom would you like to have? I'd like to be able to see in the dark, like a cat. Yeah I wrote bat by accident, shut up.

I would take a pen knife, a compass, and some spices to put on fish.
I would also like to be able to fly.

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 10 Jun 2010, 10:37, Reply)
see that wasn't so hard
except that a compass kind of counts as necessary sailing equipment. As does a penknife.

The spices are ok though.

but Wiggy likes job security. To be honest, so do I, but I'd still like to save up a couple of grand and then just do something crazy like buying a boat and fucking off.

you'd need for more than a couple of grand to buy a boat

That's true, I get on a Virgin train for about 10 minutes of my journey and it's always really nice
it's the Northwest trains that are horrible. They still have those bench seats that cram 3 people on one side and 2 on the other and the whole train shakes and screeches its way down the line. And it's usually late.

Trains in Europe seem to be brilliant though.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 11:03, Reply)
I know!
Trains going to the North (appart from Edinbrugh or Glasgow) are always awful.

I've taken long distance trains in different parts of Europe and they're always great. In Belgium, the first time, we spend 10 min trying to find the 2nd class and so surprised that the 1st class had so many coaches, until someone pointed that we were already in the 2nd class.

(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 10:42, Reply)
the being in the navy bit is a bit superfluous really ;-)
if I were sailing across any significant amount of water I'd be doing it on something like this

I would want a little boat that I can fix up rather than a sexy modern boat
This is the blog I've been reading,
chadlawie.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

he bought a rare boat that was all rotten and gross and did it up, which is pretty cool. Makes it all the more satisfying to sail.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 10:48, Reply)
that's what my dad does
his last one was an 80 year old wooden racing yacht, the latest is approaching that age but has a cabin and stuff.

nice boats, but I wouldn't trust them to get me very far in a storm.
(I helped save b3ta! Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 10:52, Reply)
That does concern me a bit
I'd need a satellite phone so I could call my dad when it starts taking on water. Last time I went down to see my parents we went out on their narrow boat and Wiggy really enjoyed driving it so hopefully he's developing the sea spirit. They've also got a dutch barge in France but they're selling it which is a real shame, I really wanted to go out on it one last time. They also have a canoe, but it was waterlogged last time I visited so I didn't fancy it. My dad was talking about getting a catamaran and mooring it outside Australia if and when I emigrate.
(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 11:05, Reply)
getting a catamaran near Australia sounds like an awesome plan
some friends of mine down near Plymouth have a cat which I want to go out on. The mrs isn't a sea-goer though, she got a little queasy on the car ferry to the Hebrides and that was almost as flat as it gets...

the friends I mention used to crew one of the boats I linked to earlier for a millionaire banker guy. Based in Antigua, they would bum about for most of the time, and when the banker came out they'd sail him and his family where he wanted to go.

My bf is doing a lot of hard work
to get a promotion, which is not easy right now, so I'd think he'll need a couple of years to get it, and then, he won't be able to just leave, he'll need to make the position stable.

By the time he can make it, all my adventurous feelings will be dead under a pile of baby bottles and shit.

I'd like to go somewhere warm enough for the sea to be pleasant at night
And I guess I'd live nocturnally, sleeping during the day to avoid being burnt too badly.

I'd take a lot of music and a good supply of knitting for something to do with my hands.

I would love catlike traits- can sleep anywhere, look after themselves, don't give a fuck about anything or anyone but are still awesome.

(I helped save b3ta! Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Thu 10 Jun 2010, 10:44, Reply)
Add to that
That usually at night the air is colder than during the day, so with the sea keeping the temperature of the water more or less the same at night, or even a bit lower than during the day, it feels warmer inside the water.

Now, if it's windy, you'll never want to go out of the water, as it'll feel freezing.

I'm not really a hot weather person but relaxing in the sun is gonna be great, not to mention getting rat-arsed with Tourettes and DG every night.

Really?!
I dunno where my heat intolerance comes from. Possibly as I don't really feel the cold, I feel the heat more. Or some shit.


Maybe it's the Jew in me having an instinctive reaction against furnaces.

no idea if the ancestry thing is true
as my brothers are fine with heat, although I have more of the characteristics than them.

I don't feel the cold particularly, although I feel it more since losing weight.

damn negative side effects
