To be fair the “shack” guy is younger, no previous career / savings, and lives off small donations for his open-source work, while the other presumably is living off savings or family money (no offense meant, it’s a damn good use of it, but feel free to correct me here). What we see might be just a reflection of their priorities.
- detaro 7y agoThat was your takeway from an article mostly about how someone fixes up and runs a boat on a small budget?
- ricardobeat 7y agoThis is my reply to the parent comments on how his boat looks bad and this other guy’s is better. The article on the Dutch sailor mentions a 12-year career, family history of sailing, flights, etc; plus even with the savings his boat costs a good decade or two of the other guy’s income. As I said, feel free to correct me and I’ll be happy to retract my comments.
- detaro 7y agoThe edited version of your comment comes across less negative, so fair point. The initial wording about "long vacation" seemed far more dismissive.
