Is the Boat a Good Idea?

edited November 2012 in The Walking Dead
Title says it all? Do you think the plan of getting on the boat and sailing along the coast, picking up supplies is a good idea? Is it possible and is it safe? Is it better for them to just try to secure a area of Savannah and live there?

Pros
Most of time spent away from walkers (hopefully they cant swim!)
Best way of escaping walker horde and walkie talkie guy and possible allies in Savannah
Safer way of travelling than on foot/veichle
Possibility of finding a safe island


Cons
Vulnerable to weather
Vulnerable to gunfire from coasts
The boat will probably attract bandits and even other desperate survivors
Limited capacity, cant take on other survivors or even too much supplies.
The coast supply runs will be dangerous, they will be looting entirely new areas instead of the same general area.

I think the boat may not be the safest idea but its their best chance of getting out of Savannah and finding an actually safe place, controlled by other survivors or even the military. What do you guys think?
