Re: Could a sailboat be the ultimate bugout vehicle...?

I have considered a boat as a bug out vehicle but it does hold heavy risks since the ocean is a dangerous place especially out in the open ocean.. And I would be concerned a boat would draw too much attention, if people from shore spot you it would be pretty apparent you are well prepared and they m...
