    You know, I have this long-standing dream of owning a sailboat and going for extended trips at sea. I haven’t done it because it’s far too expensive, and also because of my responsibilities on land. But add a new one to that. I’m somewhat concerned that a US war vessel will attack me.

      Would you say you feel a bit terrorised? By the united states? I think maybe its time to call a spade a spade…

      You could build your own warship for self-defense. Just add some cannons to the sailboat for a DIY Ship-of-the-Line.

      A friend’s parents retired, sold their home, bought a small condo and a sailboat, and now they spend half the year sailing with a fleet of other people (mostly other retirees) in the Caribbean. Not sure how much money they had to pull it off but I’ve always thought it was such a neat retirement.
