It's complicated: -why? -planning. -get a boat. -disentanglement from the real world. -doing it. -& what can go wrong?
We'll surely get to each of that.
GOAL: boat the "Inside Passage", from Puget Sound, Washington, to ~Skagway, Alaska, and back, alone.
Here's a map... Google Maps doesnt have a "boat" route option, so of course no i'm not following the blue line, i'll be off, but close to, the coast.
Here are some ideas i have for BOATs: -this -& this -etc.
Notes: 1. A POWER boat is a good idea, as the winds & currents are weird. 2. Those boats are considered small for such a journey.
PLAN: 1. Buy a boat in the next few months. Disentangle, etc. 2. Head out in May. 3. Back by Fall.
DAILY: -Wake at first lite, head out. -Boat all day, til it starts getting choppy (so i'm told) in the afternoon. -Then find a sheltered cove and anchor. -Read, meditate, etc, maybe fish or beach-comb ashore. -Sleep. -Repeat.
It's a wild country, ports are rare, but when they are available i will resupply food and (critically) gas.
COMMUNCIATIONS: -much of the way, suprise, they claim i can communicate normally to internet, text, phone via verizon, as i do now. -further, i'll acquire a, as Cathy Anderson calls it, gadget, which will allow me to 2-way text, to anyone with texting, anywhere in the world, wonders of tech.
Folks, suggest a boat NAME: my poor ideas: -great empty -comftably numb or comfy numb -tangled blue -billy be damned -trinity -empty -numb -re-boat -reboot -"a loan" -too small to fail
We'll be in touch.
