In J. L. Bourne's Day by Day Armageddon, the protagonist employed various boats and ships to avoid the undead. Bourne's zombie hated the water and would often maintain their distance on peers and docks. One could find solace in his novel simply by taking shelter on any sea-worthy vessel. Prior to this novel, I hadn't thought of how useful it would be to have ship handling experience.
Today, while at the VA Beach Aquarium, I was reminded as to how beneficial it would be to have access to one of those flotation devices should the zombie apocalypse decide to impress itself upon humanity. My friend and I took the creek tour around a small inlet/bay near the ocean and as we mentally shopped for one of the swank shore front homes, we also picked out the boats we would most like to "take advantage of" when the zombies arrive. I personally liked the yacht named "No Worries." Quite fortuitous.
Considering my husband works on a boat, I may be in luck regardless. Still, I couldn't help but think I should get over my vague notions of sea-sickness (I felt great on this trip) and consider donning a captain's hat. I will set for the high seas and mock those grubbing zombies at the shore--as long as no one on my vessel is already infected....
