I know nothing about boats but I learn fast and never forget.
I’m willing to do the jobs no one else wants.
My kids are grown, I’m divorced, retired at 35. I’m not quite forty yet.
I need to get away and I need to work impossibly hard like I’m used. I need to get away from the gun in my safe calling me.
I’ll work myself to death at any shipping job.
There’s got to be a captain looking for a newbie like that.
Running away only works for so long. As the great poet once said, wherever you go, there you are.
I would recommend professional help.
Agreed completely, but if he spends all summer on a boat with no gun, he can earn some money and experience and get that help after.
We also need to think about OP’s potential shipmates, who might not benefit from being out at sea with a rootless suicidal person. It would be more responsible for OP to get their head straight before locking themselves away with a handful of strangers miles from anywhere
It didn’t sound like money was the issue here.
You can always just jump off the boat when nobody’s looking
