I think the general consensus seems to be to hide out and try to eke by with a solitary existence.

I like the idea of trying to become engaged in some maritime venture. If I can get enough language skills down, I know my navigational skills are well beyond those that were practiced in 1000 A.D. And I'm sure my marlinspike seamanship skills would hold up. So, I could make myself of use and ports would not be places where it would be that unusual to see someone who was different, as was observed in an earlier post, because at 6'3" and in decent shape at 230+, I am not going to blend in easily.

So, the question to figure out is really how to stay alive long enough to get the language skills.
