Hi all, I'm new to all this.

I'm writing because I went to a seminar last weekend held by the Sea-Steading Institute. My interest was in sailing, but a lot of their information involved surviving peak oil. So, here I am, in a panic, getting all the information I can.

I really have to recommend Jerome FitzGerald's book "Sea-Steading". I was aboard his boat last weekend and it's the real deal. It's achievable, and a number of people are living independent lives where they'll just laugh at us land based people fighting it out.

Anybody else ought there considering the oceans as an excape?

We're talking about it under "planning for the future" I'm new to the whole thing and dont really have much to offer yet. Do you have sailing experience?

Bring lots and lots of money.

FitzGerald says a boat should cost between a dollar and two dollars a pound.
