https://ocean.builders/first-seastead-has-been-set-up-in-international-waters/Ocean Builders has built a spar design seastead over the past several months which consists of a large steel cylinder that sits vertically in the water with a fiberglass platform sitting atop the spar which acts as the living space. The spar was placed into the water on January 3rd and the platform placed in the water a week later in preparation for this event.
maybe not the best question, but elwar? what are you seastead guy's are doing when the sea gets very restless/high waves/hurricane/tsunami etc...?
cause the units are not looking very stable and a little bit on the small side?
just a question out of intrest and cause i'm very low known with all of the seastead living.
I'm wondering how you go on a beer run, also semi serious what do you do with trash?
Beer run is about 12 nautical miles to the closest 7-11 (this is Thailand, I am sure a 7-11 will pop up here any minute. Maybe 3).
Just had our first visitor yesterday. He brought a case of beer and left with our trash. We polute landfills responsibly like everyone else.
As for major storms, hurricanes, tsunamis...
The highest waves all year might reach 2 meters in the roughest storms. 10 year high is upwards of 4 meters and the 100 year freak wave rating here is 5 meters. We are able to take a 5 meter wave and would likely get a wet kitchen floor but that's it.
There are no hurricanes here and as far as tsunamis which killed thousands of people here about 15 years ago...we are the safest place to be. We would just rise with the swell and go back down without really noticing. Meanwhile everything on the coast gets wiped out.
The whole seastead is able to raise and lower with the press of a few buttons. About a 2 meter range.We are sitting pretty low because the seas are calm this time of year. Worst waves this month are around .5 meters.
