We are taking our sailboat very far off of land.
We'll come back when all the roving gangs have departed and society restarts up again.
I didn't know that Arizona had a coast line. Or is your sailboat on a trailer or moored down in Baja.
I love the Gulf of California.
Its moored out in San Diego area. Hopefully I can get out there before all the bad stuff goes down. Its one of the reasons I read this site so much.

I would probably want to be somewhere with a milder climate than my current Colorado foothills. We have chickens and a rabbit and in even a mild winter we would lose them without some sort of heat source, well at least the chickens. The rabbit is inside. I would want to be somewhere in a wooded area, or somewhere that has a lot of small back roads. I realized that here in my town there are only just a couple of ways in and out of the town. Not an easy place to protect or get out of without going down large main roads.
Interesting about the chicken losses. Do you not have an enclosure for them? I haven't lost a chicken ever due to the cold and we have many nights in -30's F. I sure agree about being in a wooded area. That's the other thing about the desert, I feel so exposed.
However, where I'm at is around 4,000 ft in elevation, and it can get dreadfully cold here, believe it or not. The record temp for this area of Texas / New Mexico is 38 degrees F below zero! Every place has its pros and cons. I prefer the isolation of desert areas, personally.

If there is one thing I have learned it is that community is key. Make friends with your neighbors, treat them well, learn to endure their differences, and keep in touch. When things turn bad they will think about your well being and show up to help. It's good for survival, it's good for morale and it's good for when you are getting older. Make friends with everybody, young and old. The old will have the sense to worry about you and they will make the young with the strength come along to help. When your neighbors are a community you share everybody's skill sets and resources.

No hurricanes/tornados, no earthquakes, no tsunami-danger, no poisonous snakes/bugs.
So far happy with my choice
