If in 2012 you choose to endure the forthcoming tidal waves and hurricanes at sea, you absolutely need to have an unsinkable boat at your disposal. But the boat shouldn't only 'not sink', it should not capsize either. Consulting boating experts, chances are that a large ship will become uncontrollable, break up and sink. The message is to use small boats instead of large ones.

Should your boat start seriously leaking you will be in dire straits. History may well have an answer for this issue. The inhabitants of Aha-Men-Ptah escaped by means of their Mandjits, which were small unsinkable boats that they launched in a huge flotilla. So how can we translate this to today's world?

Sailing contests in which yachts capsize and the crew gets imprisoned inside the cabin are a reality that needs to be brought into account when choosing your survival boat. The unfortunate crew cannot free themselves because the water rushes in and the boat sinks. We can follow the coverage of the plight of the unfortunates for several days. During those days they remain locked up before they are rescued. This assumes that the yacht can be located. At the end of 2012, after the reversal of the poles, this would be a hopeless situation that must be avoided.

We will be witness to global destruction, and chances are pretty high that there won't be anyone available to rescue you from awkward situations. So how can you possibly prevent such a situation? Do unsinkable boats exist? Who knows more about this? The good news is that there are a few companies that do build those types of boats...and their business is on the upraise since more and more people see this as an alternative for 2012 survival. One of them being Unsinkable Motor Yacht from Malle, Belgium. Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, is known for housing some of the finest sail boat building companies, especially the unsinkable ones. They are developing an unsinkable motor yacht with an approximate length of ten meters (30 feet). If they succeed they can also start building bigger sailing ships. The Flemish Authority supports this. It believes in a worldwide prevailing quality. The name of the company is ETAP.

In a meeting, sales manager Jan van Speybroeck confirmed they do build and deliver unsinkable boats for their clients. During this conversation, some of the problems that would confront anyone in an ETAP, were identified as follows:

* Broken mast after the calming down of the tsunamis;
* Uncontrollability because the diesel motor cannot be started due to electric failure caused by the magnetic storms.

Unsinkable Boats Generate Substantial Safety
In our opinion these boats will give people the greatest chance for surviving the cataclysm. Besides these yachts, there is just one other possibility, and that is to move up into the high mountains of some well-chosen areas.

Unsinkable boats could make a valuable contribution to the survival of our civilization, just as they did 12000 years ago. In the previous cataclysm they carried along a major selection from their library. Through this it became possible to help science flourish again. In 2012 we will have to have organized something similar. Our advantage will be that the ETAP yachts are far more enduring than the Mandjits of the Atlanteans.

However, this option contains many more risks and insecurities. You may be consumed by volcanic gasses or swallowed by fissures in splitting mountains, or it's possible you might be washed away by the global tidal wave. It is up to you to decide where you will be.

Anyone considering escape by boat needs to take into account that the ETAP yachts are small, and that is a disadvantage. You cannot bring much food, survival material, or many books. Each ship can only carry the most important things, so the literature will have to be divided amongst them. The boats belonging to a group need to stay close to each other, however, in most cases this will be next to impossible. After the chaos has dissolved, the survivors will have to summon all their force to reach the place of gathering, which itself may prove hard to find in a greatly changed world. But it will be imperative to meet, so that all the information that has been spared can be gathered in one place and a mini-library can be constructed as quickly as possible.

Remember, at this moment ETAP is the only producer in the world of comfortable, unsinkable yachts. If you have hesitated too long, you will never be able to get such a yacht. Timing will be an issue even if you want to rent a boat, once you are convinced of the necessity.

A License for Hiring a Boat
Yachts can be rented. To mention some places: the Azure Coast, South Brittany, Corfu, Gouvia and Mallorca. In 2012 there will surely be more places. In order to rent a boat there is, however, one challenge: you need to have a boater's license which means that you have to take an instruction course on boating. Without such a license you cannot rent a boat. Therefore start taking lessons well beforehand, or have someone with you who does have a license!

Just to be on the safe side, I'll spend the entire year standing on a flat, dry chunk of land with my legs straddling the equator. Question: After the globe flips, how will I re-calibrate my compass? Or do I just flip it over?

Thank you Bill.......early into reading Cap'n John's post, not only was I trembling in fear of 2012 but was about to ask your same question. Perhaps we will be fortunate to be abducted into the space ships of aliens to avoid the Armagedon.......you think?

Well Cap'n John,

That was an extremely thought provoking post. In response I'd like to say that the most popular alcohol in Russia is Vodka, in the Bahamas its Rum but what I'd really like to know is what the hell have you been drinking?

Cataclysm, unsinkable boats, tsunamis, reversal of the poles, magnetic storms, the Atlantians........really?

Bill
