    Any smoke or fire reports in CA?

    Is this a normal fire season or worse?

    CA is not looking too good these days with the lock downs, businesses and conservatives fleeing the state.
    CA is only attracting liberals, criminals, illegals, homeless and now with the new pedo-law, pedophiles. Not sure why anyone else would move to CA.
    What will the population of CA look like in 5 years/10 years?

    It's a trick question. There are no people in CA. THE ANSWER IS ZIER.

    I'm about as far away from these SoCal fires as you can get (except for the coast) and it's overcast with ash everywhere.

    Ash everywhere here as well. This is a bad fire season for us, so far. Was worse 2 weeks ago, when the lightning struck. CA seems to be turning into a 3rd world country, with roving power blackouts, apocalyptic fires, riots in major cities. Builds thick skin I guess. I'd sure like to plop my 40 foot boat in Montana right about now.
    life is good.

    That boat should represent freedom. As most of us are til retirement, you are probably tied to a job. But just think, at a moments notice you could cast-off and head for Old Mexico and spend a season or a year on the Pacific surrounded by brown beauties and cold cervecas. Or is it not that easy? How far can one go on a full tank? Is your boat equipped with sails? Can one man navigate the seas?

    I know of a real estate broker I had dealings with who made enough money off RE deals to buy a sailboat about the same size as Hitch's and he sailed around the world for five years, often solo. Friends of his would fly to whether he was and sail with him for a time and then return home. He also made friends along the way who sailed with him from what I gather.

    This was in the late '90s to early '00s. Today doing so is not so safe as I understand.

    Dunno, but a 16 y.o. girl can sail solo around the world.

    Yet another reason I keep my diesel fuel tanks full. I'm on a trawler now, no sails, but I could make Mexico. The trawler burns about 1 gallon an hour at a speed over water of 6 knots. Like most of us though, I'm tied to a job until retirement. But, I can navigate the seas alone and the boat, yes feels free. I am free and home onboard her. I suspect a lot of boaters in CA are heading south to Mexico during this time.
    life is good.
