Hello all!

Love your site-it seems like a great place for those who are progressively moving forward in this world.

I'd like to introduce myself/ourselves. We at the Seasteaders Institute teach lessons on how to put together a sustainable lifestyle at sea, or at least in coastal environments around the world. The majority of our projects involve engineless sailboats from 30 to 50 feet in lenght--these boats are homes, means of transportations, and homesteads. This is a vibrant and growing community--we're out here doing this--this isn't theoretical at all. As I write, I'm anchored in Sausalito having sailed down from British Columbia a month ago.

Seasteading is a unique opportunity for self-motivated individuals with a good skill set. As I like to point out, sail is the only proven alternative energy source with centuries of tradition behind it. A good seastead can be put together for about two dollars pound(huh?) and represents a financial outlay much less invasive than a land based lifestyle.

And my boat at www.macha.bravehost.com

I'm always looking for crew!

We teach free sailing lessons and other classes both in the Puget Sound and here now in San Fransisco. Please contact me if you're interested in joining this very rewarding project

Thanks
