Prepping My Boat for the End of the World

[barnakiel]

Pushed to the edge by posts in another thread, I am prepping my boat for the end of the world:

- the engine out of its pit and to be attached under the keel,
- converting her to a junk rig,
- getting 6 sets of Sunbrella made sails in China,
- a barrel of epoxy, 6 barrels of antifouling,
- 12 reels of Poly rope,
- 6 sextants, 6 clocks, 6 sets of assorted tools,
- wood burning galley stove ...

Anything else?

6 drums of spirulina.

Enough foul tasting survival food to keep you alive until the final apocalypse.

Well, Costner's apocalypse had dirt being worth quite a bit. Maybe put a few thousand pounds of black, volcanic 'ballast' in the bottom, and a few different plant seeds?

If we're depending on you to re-start civilization, we'd better hope you remember the eggplant!

Now we've got some forward thinking!

Be sure to bring combination doorlocks and earplugs, though. They can get a bit screechy at times
