GO WEST YOUNG MAN - SEASTEADING



Go west young man, and seek your fortune over the western horizon.  Such was the call to 19th century pioneers in North America.  The government encouraged westward expansion by offering homesteads - free parcels of land - to those brave souls who took up the challenge.

Times are different now.  All the land is taken, divided, and subdivided thousands of times, and new homesteads are no more.  All that remains are millions of miles of fences and unfriendly walls.  Postage stamp size estates with no trespassing signs demarcate the homesteads of yesteryear. 

 

Nevertheless, the pioneer spirit survives in the hearts of those who live in Water World.  As we sail west around the world, we aren't in search of land.  We are seasteading.

 

What is seasteading?  Seasteading is a way of life in which homesteads don't exist.  You sail on the ocean of your dreams, and wherever you drop your anchor becomes your temporary home - your seastead.    The oceans and waterways of the world constitute a massive aquatic seastead in which you are free to roam at will.  You may live in the same seastead for weeks, months, or years, or you can change to a new one each day.  Your seastead may be anywhere from the tropics to the arctic circle - wherever you have the courage to point the bow of your yacht.


People who seastead live in Water World.  Their home is on the oceans and seas that cover more than 70 percent of our planet.  Water World is a vast domain that transcends cultures, nationality, and politics.  Seasteaders are politically more neutral than the Swiss, and they come from all the nations of the earth.  Linguistic diversity and openness to all religions and cultures are hallmarks of this transoceanic community.

Water World accommodates everyone.  Our friends are German, French, Canadian, American, Thai, Malay, Indonesian, Australian, New Zealanders, Spanish - an endless ever changing list of seafarers who make seasteads their home, and seasteading their way of life.

Most people who seastead aren't on vacation and aren't running from the real world.  They have bills to pay and must earn a living like everyone else.  The big difference is that in Water World, they don't have a thirty year mortgage on the small patch of ocean where they anchor their yacht.  Their seastead belongs to no one and to everyone at the same time.  They have as much right to be on the seas or at anchor as anyone else.

In his wisdom, God made plenty of water for everyone, and I'm glad He did.  Otherwise, there would be water wars.  It wouldn't be long before the governments of the world divided the ocean up into smaller and smaller parcels, and seasteading would become a thing of the past.


Seasteading still is a viable way of life in most parts of the world.  There aren't enough of us sailing that it's worth the time and expense for most governments to closely regulate us.  But times are changing.  The industrialized nations of the west are  constantly looking for new sources of revenue, and if you remain too long in some European waters, they will charge VAT on your boat.  Fortunately, it's a big and beautiful world out there with plenty of places for seasteaders to drop their anchors and call home.

 

Seasteading is a great way of life.  If you purchase a small seaworthy yacht and save up your freedom chips, it won't be long before you can start an awesome adventure.  Your pioneer spirit will well up within you as you hoist your sails and seek your fortune over the western horizon.

Go west young man, go west.
