>>15815150Paypal and a Mastercard will unironically cover you in 99% of places and allow you easy access to cash in places it won't.
Also odds are if you're sailing to another country, you're planning in advance, finance is part of that planning. Gold/silver is a meme and you'll end up paying more (and probably getting robbed) than if you just eat the fees you pay on Paypal etc
>>15815141>can you have a gun on your boat in bluewaters?Yes, but you want to be very mindful of local laws, very upfront about having it with port authorities (expect to have it confiscated and to never see it again every time you hand it over) and have it locked in a safe on board. You do not want to get caught "illegally" bringing weapons into a foreign country and if you use it at sea it's better not to tell anyone. If you're ever unsure about the law or find yourself in a situation where you had to use it, don't risk it and dump it out at sea. You don't want to have to explain to a bunch of uppity uniformed SEA monkeys why you riddled a bunch of hopped up shark poachers with buckshot when they tried to board you.
>>15815125>imagine lurking in front of a 8" LCD display.Imagine indeed.
>>15815169>Don't build your own boat. It takes immense amount of knowledge and expertiseThis is great advice, if you want to DIY interior and cosmetic stuff and basic wiring (do it fucking right though), go for it, but buy something sea worthy and pay the money to maintain it.
