All about Boats, Yachts and Sailing

Inoku asked:


Is it possible to live on a boat sailing the seas eating what I catch? If it possible, what would I do for drinks and what is the likely hood of dying due to a whirlpool, hurricane or whale ramming the boat? I’m not sea/boat-smart but lately I’ve been wanting to do such a thing and I just want to know if it’s a decent idea or a horrible idea.

People with experience or people who know anything about this please let me know because I don’t want to start something and then end up regretting it later.
Oh, and I’ve recently been hearing about pirates attacking ships and such on the news? Is it likely that I will encounter a pirate if I do this?
Also, this is not a joke I am 100% serious. It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a while.
