It's Time. Looking For Others To Subsidize My Diaspora
"We Gotta Get Out Of Here! If It's The Last Thing We Ever Do"

I have a 28 ft sailboat in TN on trailer but also near river that feeds into gulf of Mexico at Mobile.

It's in great shape (well, minor repairs) and well equipped with state of the art navigational electronics

Have Dingy but no life raft

It still needs bottom paint (I have it) and launching.

Problem is mainly labor and money to launch (crane rental, dockage) and fuel (gas)

and crew ready to put in the elbow grease to make her go.

Biggest Problem: I don't have a passport yet. May take a while.

Rio dulse in Guatemala looks good. Best Hurricane Hole In The Caribbean.

Nicaragua looks interesting too.

Belize and Panama both have currencies tied to US dollar, but otherwise look good

Diesel Mechanics Preferred ( Have Diesel inboard doesn't work but two good outboards)

Let's Talk about it.

1. If you need a crew
to make a 28 foot sailboat seaworthy, then sailing to Guatemala might not be the safest choice for you? Just a thought.

Actually just posted this to express my frustration with current events

Not really serious

3. I could use a plane ticket and several thousands of dollars to travel the world too.

Looking for a place to move to that isn't dictatory. If anyone wants to help or chip in....
