Imagine we are using kites to move in a big circle around the Sargasso Sea each year. I am thinking Anguilla, Bermuda, Azores, back to Anguilla. We could time it so that we were in the North-Eastern half of this loop to avoid the hurricane season in the South-West and then in the South-Western half of the loop to avoid the cold stormy season in the North-Atlantic. With computers controlling the kites and sea anchors I think we can move at the right speed to make this happen. I think if we checked historical information that doing this you would never have had to face even a 30 foot wave in the last 100+ years.

This type of migration keeps the house in a comfortable climate all year. Heating or air-conditioning may not even be necessary. In any case it reduces the power requirements.

A related idea is that even slow movement can be enough to get out of the way of a hurricane, even if you start in the path of one. These days you can get more than 4 days warning for a hurricane. If you can move 2+ MPH then in 4 days you can move over 200 miles. This should be enough to reduce the maximum wave to less than 30 feet. If you are on a route that should not have hurricanes or storms, and have the ability to adjust the route a bit based on the weather forecast, and can handle 30 foot waves, you should be safe.
