Haha, true! A boat definitely sounds like the ultimate backup plan for crossing oceans . Actually, a few weeks ago I bought a boat myself, and before making the purchase, I spent a lot of time researching what I needed to know beforehand. During my search, I found this really helpful guide about things to know before buying a boat. It covered so many important points I hadn't even thought about — hopefully, it helps others too who are considering the jump from land to sea!
