Dear Shipmates

Introduction

I am an autistic genius with impaired social skills, such as thinking in facts, and believing that everyone does, avoiding eye contact, and being obsessed with certain topics. Watch the Netflix movie "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" to better understand the autistic genius personality. Consider how it might affect you emotionally, especially in the confines of a sailboat. If you hated the "geek" in high school, find another boat.

My accomplishments in Naval aviation and civilian careers made history, but would not have happened without the teamwork of my air crew mates, co workers and apprentices. I hope to relive that with my shipmates, but without all the unpleasant things, such as commuting to work or being missile locked. 8=)

Building this boat was my early retirement project. Autistic genius is obsessed with solving problems and building things. Even better with a team wanting to learn and accomplish the project. This rewards my love of teaching, and provides friendships that fit my impaired social skills.

The maiden voyage ended when a decade of thorium232 in my food and drink made itself known. I am in my fifth year of detoxing Thorium, said by NIH to be impossible to eliminate from the body. I am proving them wrong, but it is taking a very long time.

The keel is too deep for any marina or boat yard on this coast, so the boat is in a heavy commercial yard. She is storm damaged and pirated. I will soon build a crew to get her sea worthy, comfortable and wandering the oceans. Watch the paragraph below for updates. Thank you.

Update 18 March 2025 - My Doctor says that I am "visited by the gods". My slow detox method avoided health effects except for cataracts and optic neuropathy caused by dental X rays. Cataract surgery soon, High dose vitamins help the neuropathy. X ray photons excite Thorium232 into radioisotopes with a half life under ten minutes, but dentists still refuse care without X rays. Predatory American medicine...

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

often messycomfortablevery safeshare experiencevisit remote placesseek adventurefulfill a dreamlive off the gridmulticultural

Roberts NY65SL design Almarine computer modified and CAM plasma cut in Dutch steel.
(65 X 12.5 beam X 8.5 ft draft). Ultra narrow beam, deep fin keel with one inch thick beaver tail end plate. Skeg hung barn door rudder. Double welded hull will bounce off the rocks and survive a whale attack.
5 X oversized Colligo Dux synthetic rigging, Double backstays and two forestays on 65 ft mast will not come down.. Three anchors up to 200 lb spade (aluminum version weighing 65 lb). Yanmar 4J. All electric galley, two heads with showers and composting toilets.

Difficulties are keeping her deep fin keel off the bottom. High free board keeps the helm dry, but requires physical fitness to climb aboard from the dinghy. Requires a deep water harbor which limits cruising destinations. The sails are huge and stiff. Dropping the jib is a complex procedure to avoid blocking access to the foredeck and anchor.
Propane and gasoline are banned from the boat in favor of electrics, tech toys and Starlink. This complicates life at sea with higher fuel costs and more maintenance work. But it provides comfort, convenience and I get the joy of sharing my extensive tech experience with my shipmates wanting to learn.

Facts about autism. Autism is not a disease (except when it makes money for a psychiatrist). It is a neurodiversity, much like diversity in skin color or hair color. All geniuses are autistic. But even the noble crusaders of health care don't understand completely. They blame vaccines for causing autism. The truth is that vaccines don't cause autism. They damage the drug sensitive autistic nervous system causing disability in a child that might have been an autistic genius like Elon Musk. Fortunately, Elon grew up outside the USA and was not exposed to our predatory health care system. He also had a very wise and dedicated mother, which is crucial to an autistic child's development. Autistics are said to be 1% of the population. But they may be as high as 40%. Girls are not counted, because their feminine nature hides autism. Today, the most outspoken and angry books on autism are written by autistic women. Male autistics "mask" their autism by imitating the behavior of the neuro majority. This is an unpleasant fake lifestyle.

Some autistic children are still treated with barbaric electro shock therapy to train out autistic traits. Even dogs get gentler training. Many others are poisoned into mind numbness and early death with drugs. But autistics are coming out now and taking a stand against predators. Autistics have published a dozen books on the subject (Audible, Kindle, Barnes & Noble etc..).

Civilization advances on the competitive nature of neuro typicals, but they would not have much to work with without the problem solving minds of autistic geniuses like Isaac Newton, Einstein, Leonardo DaVinci, Nicola Tesla and Elon Musk.

Watch the top rated Netflix movie "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" to gain an understanding of the autistic genius personality.
