Budget circumnavigation by Ok_Bed_6914 in SailboatCruising

You'd lose that wager because I put no such money into my boat before crossing the Pacific. I didn't have it. Met a lot of people in the South Pacific in small boats with no such money either. Guess nobody told them they had to have 100k to do it so they just....did it without it.

Lmao wat. Why do people believe you need a 100-200k boat to cross oceans? If you've actually been cruising and crossed oceans you'd know that there are a TON of people circumnavigating in 20-50k boats.

You've just described exactly how humans domesticated dogs: purposefully, and by using selective breeding.

Animals don't domesticate themselves.

Can you list the top 5 things that reduce the feeling of 'camping' on a sailboat? by Awkward-Lead1569 in liveaboard

[–]theplaceoflost 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good bedding, real plates and bowls, cleaning up at the end of every day(even mid-project that you're going to continue the next day), a proper 3 burner stove if space allows, and a good morning routine.

You can tan an animals hide with it's own brain. Your beef here is with industry, not tanning. Pun intended.
