Cats can't go by plane? I think I saw one , but he was drugged to sleep or something.
The diesel fuel is very efficient. I took a cruise that went prob 1500 miles and powered all the lights and elevators onboard for a whole week.
There's probably space for extra fuel to get you across the ocean. I've even read that people take old sailboats and don't even use the sails. Since they are made for sailing, the hull shape is quite efficient. It prob just won't be super fast.
yeah, i don't mind the speed part, i'll be happy to get across in 3 weeks, given i'd stop a few islands along the way to rest between several day long all day no land no nothing doom aaaaaaargahahahha!!!haha sorta situation, and the occasional freakout when it seems like i mis-guessed the weather for the time period and am very far from a bay, but i'll plan that out in painful detail before i depart, all the places i can stop, how to navigate to them, backups for all the things, etc
it will be fun, i will be fully offline, disconnected, i will not take any stupid internet with me, just a durable waterproof navigator clamped to the console lol, and a wind up clock, mechanical barometer hanging in the cabin and lots of candles and waterproof matches
and omg, the thought of laying back on the prow, looking up at a clear sky, with the whole milky way beaming down on me, on a new moon night... ✨
oh yeah and of course i'll have paper maps, compass and protractor, and an astrolabe
i'm gonna do all the planning work with a computer but once i'm out there i'm just reading off paper and verifying against my plan and estimating my position every day based on star readings just before going to bed after dumping the anchor
also yes, cats can go by plane but i wouldn't wish that on my mochi
