How are you coping with climate change? (self.asklemmy)

This has been a doozy of a year. And it's the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won't die of old age?

We had the same idea. Even ended up living on an old 37' for about a year... then we popped the stern tube during an engine test (40 years worth of copper corrosion)...

Well you can imagine what that was like. It was only through sheer dumb luck that we saved literally everything we own. That coupled with some expensive engine repair and we ended up spending the cost of the boat again in repairs.

There's more to the story but ye, we live in a house now.

This is not to discourage any one btw, just pick your boat better than we did. Also, you need to be really into DIY or really rich, because God damn, boat stuff is expensive!

0_0 HFS! Glad you're okay AND saved your necessarily minimal (because boat) belongings!
