SMALL CRAFT PROS:
- I can sail solo.
- I can escape the world whenever I wish.
- No one to worry about but myself when it comes to safety and supplies, which is easiest when it comes to money worries.
- I can go wherever I want to go, whenever I want to go there, without worrying about what others want to do.
- Can easily run under the radar of any gov't vessels and possible pirates, thus being able to avoid some situations that I'd like to avoid.
- It's a LOT cheaper and I can start sailing a LOT sooner than I'd be able to in trying to build a big ship.
- With only myself, I don't have to worry about anyone else's comfort but my own.
- A smaller business is far easier to run and there's less to worry about.
- On my own I can volunteer my time and vessel for any deed I deem worthy without having to worry about gaining the consent of the crew like on a bigger vessel.
- No hassles, no fuss.
SMALL CRAFT CONS:
- Lonely and more dangerous for my own personal safety in regards to having run-ins with scum.
- Not as safe as a larger boat on the ocean with others around to help out with things.
- Craft is less stable and making ocean voyages is more risky.
- Less room.. thus harder to have a nice lifeboat on board in case of emergencies.
- Less space for a garden for fresh veggies and fruits, for solar panels and wind turbines for energy, for storage and running my business.
- Less able to enact change and reach the people whose lives I hope to change and make better.
LARGE SHIP PROS:
- More room for everything.
- Able to have separate cabins for crew members which would provide more comfort and ease of mind.
- More stable and sea worthy for the long treks across vast oceans.
- I can take people with me and have company as I sail.
- A bigger ship is more likely to attract attention and business than a smaller ship.
- The ship I want to build will be very unique and beautiful, thus more able to attract customers for my business.
- It's a better investment for my money and I can build it as I wish.. to my specifications
- Better able to make a statement and enact change with a ship that's more readily noticeable and recognizable than a small ship that would probably go unnoticed completely.
LARGE SHIP CONS:
- A large ship REQUIRES a crew to be able to sail.
- I am less able to get away from everyone and everything with the restrictions and responsibilities that come with captaining a large ship.
- Less likely to be able to run under the radar of gov't vessels and possible pirates, thus less able to avoid certain situations.
- I go from having the pure freedom of sailing to having to deal more with the bureaucracy of the world.
- Will take a lot longer to obtain and cost a lot more money, be harder to upkeep
- The bigger business will be harder to run and keep afloat is things go south.
- LOTS of hassle, LOTS of fuss.
Maybe.. I can do both? Dry dock the larger vessel when I wish to escape on my own and switch when I want to get back to my bigger project of helping others. But that would cost a fortune... which I don't have. Although.. I can still enact change in a smaller ship.. sometimes smaller ripples have a better effect on the world around them than trying to make a giant splash and huge waves. People don't like change to come sudden and fast like a raging storm.. People prefer the gentle, passive passage of time with minor changes that come like the changing of the tide.
I don't know!!!!!! I could REALLY use some input on this one.... this is when having friends & family to bounce ideas off of comes in handy and can make a huge difference. It is also DEEPLY appreciated and I like constructive criticism. I consider all sides of an issue and sometimes I need an outsider's view to pick out things I may have missed.
Anyone with a comment, experience, or simply wishing to put in their two cents worth.. please comment~ Thanks!
