The list of possible scenarios is long and it's hard to say which is more likely to happen, or if any of them will. <br /><br />The series, like my Pulse and Darkness After series, will be more about how the characters respond and adapt than the scenario itself.

My boat is in a coasta...That is definitely my plan. My boat is in a coastal harbor, 10 minutes sail from open ocean near San Francisco and a 6 hour hike from my home on foot. Having a boat in the San Francisco Bay is not a good plan: the half-mile-wide Golden Gate channel would likely be blockaded by the "Captain of the Port" with passage forbidden to anything besides naval vessels. <br /><br />Keeping three weeks of water and food on board is easy. After that, you'd have to revert to fishing and a (large) solar still. A bigger problem, not discussed anywhere here, is navigation. Don't expect anything with transistors to continue working if he Big Snit occurs with either Russia or China (the former adversary being far more likely). An early EMP attack is part of their war doctrine. Learn to use a sextant and keep a decent mechanical clock and current copy of the Navigation Almanac on board. It takes about an hour to learn to how to take noon sights - which are adequate. Without the primitive navigation skills you gain with a sextant, and a set of paper charts, you'd be forced to remain within sight of land, making you easy prey to pirates who themselves lack "non-electronic" navigation skills.<br /><br />A small sailboat presents a very boring target. With the engine, electronics (especially the RADAR and depth sounder) and radios off, it is practically invisible to electronic detection. It's unlikely any naval force would go to the trouble to hunt you down since you represent no threat to them. And if you judicious take in the sails and go below, your vessel looks like one that is simply adrift and uncommanded. I recommend a sea anchor for both station keeping and survival in difficult seas. <br /><br />My plan: sail 40 miles offshore, put on my sun glasses, and watch the fireworks. Turn on the gieger counter (you have one of those, right?), and use a bucket to wash off any fallout off the deck. The prevailing winds are out of the northwest, from seaward, and any fallout is likely to be old and decayed before it arrives from Alaska. What then? Probably sail south. Hey Mexico, what is the Spanish equivalent of the phrase: "Turnabout is fair play"?

Only two ways on and off the island. I also work off the island and traffic is insane most days. If there was TSHTF we could blow the bridges in theory. Most morning I just think what the heck were we thinking but then I remember it was the only house at the time that fit our needs in one of two school districts we felt was right for our family. The baby graduates from High School in 3 years. My husband is thinking of moving to Canada and I am NOT. I will be finding my own small farm. Planning now. I am planning he thinks I am stupid. I cant say if I will even stay in this area. <br />God Speed Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6836343905945224980.post-69288650429091625702016-09-06T12:39:55.637-05:002016-09-06T12:39:55.637-05:00FINALLY was able to get FORGE OF DARKNESS and read...FINALLY was able to get FORGE OF DARKNESS and read it over the Labor Day holiday.
