Your suggestion being that, I should have spent my life working for money I don't need, to buy things I don't need ,to impress people I don't like, increasing my environmental impact exponentially, and, doing like so many, preaching against environmental destruction, to be less hippocritical , like you?
Ya sure ! Sounds like more fun that cruising full time!
You should be spending your time on a "Better homes and gardens"site instead of here, where people dream of the cruising life, if you hate the idea of the cruising life so much.
I always got a kick out of programs to junk old cars and replace them with more "environmentally friendly" new ones, to reduce pollution, completely ignoring the pollution involved in building so many new cars.
Once one moves aboard , the reduction in environmental impact, from that point on, adds up to exponentially more than that caused by the building of the boat, including the manufacture of the materials
Many look forward to not needing a car any more, which drastically reduces their environmental foot print even further.
How many cars have you gone thru in a lifetime? How much steel manufacturing did that involve? More than one boat? How much fossil fuel does your lifestyle use in a month? And you call me a hippocrite?
I have never owned a car; never wanted to.
Population? I haven't added a single person to the worlds population ( not that I'm aware of)
My post was NOT any sort of suggestion Brent, it was a factual statement of how I-and no doubt others-see you.
If you truly believed in your lifestyle choice, you would be designing and making wooden boats.
After all, Slocum did it after shipwreck in South America, and Spray sounds like it was almost a new ship.
It is a waste of time dealing with you as you are incapable of seeing any other view or opinion as having any value whatsoever.
As a critic on SA said about you, and you have just proved it for the fifth time " He wears you down with mind numbing repetition! "
He certainly got that bit right.........................................
