Let's start a global company! We can be 5-10 founders who order a container full of TIs to some place where we can stay for three months or half a year. We can sell TIs or rent them out long time (3-6 months) to people who follow us during that time. After three or six months we put the TIs back into the container and have it transported to some other nice country where we stay for three to six months. And then we move on again.
You could quit your boring job and earn your living on being a Hobie Island Globetrotter. Wouldn't that be much nicer than your present life? You just have to break up from the boring relations you got. If you have kids they might become Hobie Island Globetrotters with you, unless they are too small. Perhaps even your wife could choose a life style like this? Otherwise, tell her goodbye! And sell your house, if necessary.
Start dreaming! You could get the life you always dreamt about.
It doesn't have to cost you 100.000 dollars to get into this kind of life style. You might not have to invest more than 12.000 dollars to get into it. That's enough for two TIs delievered to some really nice spot on Earth. You rent one of them out for 500 dollars a month or more.
Now, that's what I'm talking about! I would simplify it even more, Just cruise into an area, and rent the things out on a hour rate to pick up some extra pocket cash. I'm game for that also. Many places in the Bahamas to pull up on a beach and rent them out to people on vacation.
I have mixed feelings on the Elec. outboards. A 2.5 gas would be ideal, but the penalty in weight is hard to overlook. And carrying gas...If we are going to to carry gas, the hukkaa dive compressor is back on board with me, right over the front seat, 60 lbs,
4 divers to 60'.
I'm a very experienced fisherman, i just cant see myself not catching/eating fresh fish everyday, in these waters.
Food is easy....some people just don't realize how good some freeze dried stuff is these days.

Water is hard to get and heavy.....In these waters (no pun) while remote
If your serious, you have a place to come, place to ship the boat, place to stay, and a epic trip.
Let's shoot for 5 boats minimum.
In my mind, my goal is 170 lbs total plus me on the boat.
My boat:
hokkaa compressor, Elec. Motor, 5 gallons fuel, hammock system, freeze dried food, ultra light weight, cooking system (Jet boil prob) fishing equip. solar charging kit, water maker, emergency water bladder, I can do it under 170 lbs plus me on a Ti no problem. How to spread the 'ballast/weight' needs to be tested.
Who else is in!
