787061 2009-06-29 09:36:00 Yes, I haven't thought about that yet. I have done rough estimates of the start of the business is $120,000 however it could easily grow to $150,000 so I'm trying to be Conservative on my spending for the next while so I can come up with atleast 10% of what is needed before seeing the bank.

2. Zilch
3. North of Bluff, south of Cape Reinga
4. Can't say - IRD might be listening.
5. See answer to Q4.
6. Three. Me, myself and I (and we all pay far too much tax!).
7. Far too much.
8. Nothing to anyone other than me.
9. See answer to Q2.
10. Depends on the rarity of (and demand for) your talent.

PS. Why are you living in the sea? Or is that where the treasure is?

787063 2009-06-29 09:46:00 Based on your location I assume you will need wireless communication and a generator for power.

On the plus side with fishing lines or a net food should not be expensive though so long as you can live on fish.

787064 2009-06-29 09:49:00 Haha, thanks for all the help guys.

@ Johcar is there anyway I can find my actual co-ordinates
PCT Joe (15018)
787065 2009-06-29 09:52:00 Try GoogleEarth for your location. Sweep (90)
787066 2009-06-29 10:05:00 Try GoogleEarth for your location.

That's what I used.

But I wouldn't recommend getting too detailed with posting the exact coordinates anywhere on the interweb.

Someone could track you down and have their wicked way with you!!

If you're lucky.
