Real estate is still too expensive around here, we're just gonna buy a schooner and live at sea. https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1983-vagabond-52-staysail-schooner-7713893/

@gamehawk Clicking on that link, I realize how little lingo I know about such things. A function of being from Kansas, perhaps 🙂

@jgoerzen @gamehawk Maybe you just didn't have enough interest in pirates as a kid. (There is some irony in us Kansas kids dreaming of pirates and the open sea. I didn't even see the ocean until well into adulthood. 😆 )

@CarlCravens @gamehawk Hah, same here! Yeah, pirates didn't captivate me. Computers, yes, and also the neighbor's ultralight airplane. Thankfully aviation is a hobby that Kansas is perfect for!

My sister has pointed out that if we bought this we could sail through the Panama Canal and go visit Carl's brother in the Bay Area.To be clear: I have been in a boat on salt water one (1) time. Carl has been twice. In none of those situations were we in charge of anything on the boat.The only sailing ship we've been on is Moshulu, which is a floating restaurant that that hasn't had canvas in decades.What I'm saying is: this could only end in tragedy.

@gamehawk We'd get stuck in the canal for sure.

Alternatively, a future headline: "Somehow a 52-foot schooner has gotten stuck crossways in the Panama Canal."

@CarlCravens Run over by an Evergreen cargo ship.I did just go look at whether it came with canvas because I realized the pictures only had a diagram, no pictures of it under sail... and it does, and all the stuff is powered. So we wouldn't have to climb around on the rigging or anything, at least.

@gamehawk Additionally, I think you probably have just too much stuff to make this a reality.

@whami We'd just have to found a makerspace and a game cafe near our home port, is all. People can play with our toys while we're on the (figurative) road. Oh, and a library.

@gamehawk @whami I bet I could throw pots on the ship, fire them when we're back in port. yeah.

@CarlCravens @whami I have joked about a treadle embroidery machine, but the cast-iron Singer is probably too heavy for shipboard practicality.

@CarlCravens @gamehawk @whami Trying to store greenware on an ocean-going vessel sounds like a recipe for heartbreak to me

@pagrus @gamehawk @whami Maybe, but as long as I'm dreaming, might as well dream the ideal.
