This sounds awesome > Undaunted is a terrible boat, but he is a great storm shelter. A sailing capsule ready for the worst and also able to do the easy part, sailing in a straight line. So basically it's about surviving indefinitely while drifting in the right direction. Why does anyone do this voluntarily. > Kent says he is unconcerned about the psychological challenge of living in such a small space for four months. > “I have spent weeks alone in the Guatemalan Highlands, and lived alone in the woods for years. I have never been so alone or for so long, but few have. Ah.

> So basically it's about surviving indefinitely while drifting in the right direction. That reminds me of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's description of flight: "The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss"

> Undaunted is a terrible boat, but he is a great storm shelter Anyone know is there an intentional reason to use "he" for the boat here? Normally sailing vessels are female in English and this was jarring to me, but it looks intended.
