The fact that these are now plausible scenarios, is the true horror of our new situation.

Yes.

Having a sick sense of humor helps me cope.

Ya. You will need that. Since you know history, recall what occurred on 06 June 1944. The day Germany opened up a second front. Which led to the ultimate destruction of their army, although not to Nazism itself. As we now clearly see it alive and well in Ukraine and in the US. But I digress. Hot war in Ukraine. Soon to come, hot war in the South China Sea. Fighting on two fronts we lose and the negotiated тАЬpeaceтАЭ deal puts the UN at the head of the snake. With the CCP as the snake charmer. ItтАЩs been planned for decades and was fully set into motion by Obummer/Bidan. The Covid hoax (and all that resulted from it) and the flooding of the southern border are just softening up the ground for the ultimate endgame.

Quoting Political Moonshine:

тАЬIn the end this once proud Constitutional Republic will be no more, and in the end you, I, and everyone we love will reside on a technocratic global plantation.тАЭ

Sheesh. I'd prefer some stories about living aboard. ;)

LOL. Ya. We are currently discussing whether we should just sail away again. For somewhere far far away. I think we would, but; GailтАЩs parents are both 96 and when we тАШabandonedтАЩ them the first time they were in good health and still in their home. Neither of those thing are the case today. I donтАЩt think Gail could leave again while they are still living. We will be back aboard in a couple weeks after a winter of being CLODS (Cruisers Living On Dirt) and the vastness of the world will be calling. Sadly, I think it will be a siren song.

BTW. I muchly enjoyed your sailing story and was very impressed with your upwind track, given that the wind was right on the nose. Which, as you have discovered is nearly always the case when one has a destination in mind.

"CLODS" haha! Love it.

The Motuihe Island trip was a treat. Will never forget those days out on that gorgeous turquoise water in that little dinghy. New Zealand feels far away now. ЁЯе║ ЁЯШв

Hi. Fellow sailor here. We're contemplating leaving land, but have no idea where to go? Seems like any and every land mass has taken for the Covid bullshit. As much as I like sailing, I want to go some place that will let my un-jabbed body roam freely.

Right. You can't stay at sea forever!
