"Tiny Trains"

Oh yeah they also decided to buy an extremely expensive dog that has some of the highest average vet bills of any breed. The dog alone was probably going rack up another few thousand in vet costs alone. Boat dogs are pretty common, generally some sort of scrappy mutt that can at least swim, not a loving pug.

I've always wanted to do something like that...

... but I don't, because I don't know how to loving sail.

Some of the facts as reported just don't even make sense. Two people working with no kids, hustling Uber on the side for two years, selling everything they own, got them $10k? They decided to quit their jobs and leave everything behind with $90 in the bank? What were they going to eat? How were they going to maintain the boat?

The only way it even remotely works is if the hull was stuffed full with drugs they were planning on smuggling from tourist beach to tourist beach.

You're not going to get much drugs for $90.

I'm still baffled by how many times the article states that they "sold everything" for 10k. They were messed up way before the ship sank.

I think the $90 is all they were able to grab before abandoning ship.

EDIT: Maybe this is a really elaborate gofundme type scam. buy a poo poo boat you dont know how to sail, goof around, wreck it and then tell your sob story, and then get charity from people hopefully much larger than what you paid into it.

Pugs are fragile as hell. My friends pug jumped off his couch and collided face first with with the edge of a short table and loving DIED from it. Before his passing, Mr Peabody also needed to be pushed around in a stroller like a baby because he couldn't really stand walking outside in the heat and humidity where we lived for more than a few minutes due to his short and malformed snout. He was adorable in his way, but we shouldn't perpetuate pugs.
