In California, earthquakes have the potential to force the need for alternate shelter. In that case, I would be on my boat, where we can be self-sufficient for several weeks.

Since EMP is at least a conceivable threat, I have considered buying extra ECM's for my gensets and main engines.

If things got to where we didn't feel secure in our slip, I think we would head out to an island for a while, but I can't imagine just roaming the open ocean.

What would be your "apocalypse boat"?

Just something about it seems like running and I have no problem with running for myself, but running from my friends, I couldn't.



It's the same thing that keeps us from moving to an island off Panama or Belize or in the Bahamas. Maybe it's a bit like the captain going down with the ship kind of feeling.



Now if for some reason, I was forced to leave the country, where would I go, I'll try to answer that, since that's a consideration many are currently tossing around. I think probably an island in the Bahamas. Or somewhere in the Caribbean would be fine. Perhaps St. Maarten as surely whatever it is I'm safe with the Dutch.

Many are considering leaving the US?

Why are the Dutch safe? I've been to St Martin, but I don't know much the Dutch.

That's more my thought if there was something forcing me to leave, to a nice island. Relax and follow the news. Close enough to return when safe. There are hundreds of uninhabited islands in the Bahamas. Many for sale, but spending some time on one in an emergency would be no problem.

St marteen sucks, go to Saba, Statia or Bonaire, these are not islands, these are just paradises! Great peoples, great islands and the dive is just exceptional!

Wharram Pahi 63 and I'd follow the Arctic Terns from S.E. Alaska to the Straits of Magellan and back every year. Zombie pirates would ooze excitedly at passing Nordhavn's...not so much a scruffy Pahi with crazy naked people aboard

I don't think you can draw the waterline high enough!

Agreed. Some sort of yurt / grass hut pilothouse thingy would be in order!

Agree, motorsailer, such as the Nordhavn coastal 35 with lots of solar and wind generation. Winter in Florida, summer in the Chesapeake. Plus the right anchor.
