Hope that holds up. Took a sailing class over a decade ago as a first step toward my retirement plan of sailing the world. Figured petrol would be $100/gallon when I retire, so I'll use free wind. Figured I could engineer an automatic sailing system combined with GPS to skipper the boat as I sleep (it will be a commercial product well before I engineer it).
In the other thread, it has me thinking how much joy I would get living at sea off the coast of CA, paying no state taxes at all, but enjoying every remaining enjoyable thing about CA.
Perhaps when I cease having an income, I'll identify as an indigenous trans Californian and reap whatever reparations I'm owed.
