Reply #50: Good [View All]

I'll bet your sailing skills are better than mine, but I did a bit off the coast of Costa Rica/Nicaragua/Panama as well as in Lake Ponchartrain (New Orleans), though this lake is not an exrtreme challenge. I sailed twice around SF Bay near Alcatraz which was pretty rough for a bay.

If I had a sail boat, I would consider heading out to deep, blue water along the Gulf Coast past Yucatan, sticking close to the shore (Belize, etc.) until I make it to Fortaleza, Brazil. I've never made this trip, so I'd definately find "a few good men/women" to come... and though I don't own any functional guns at the moment, I'd be armed to the teeth.

Better that we stay and fight for your young ones. I have a feeling that it'd be best if we follow Ghandhi's example and protest peacefully - sit-down strikes on a massive scale, refuse to work, fight in the military, obey any "immoral" laws. The British empire was defeated with a handful of salt, according to what Ghandhi said at the end of their "salt march".

But it is hard to sleep nights lately, no?
