Times Up?

[Michael Davis]

I had a visitor to our dock last summer that was 93 and still boating. Mind you he went to the “Dark Side” when he turned 90.

I now have new hope that I'll be able to cruise with Terry.

I'll be 82 soon and plan to continue my second career; driving a school bus and for ten more years, which will make it a little over 30 total. Given my health, my plan is to continue sailing for another ten years. If you get joy from what you do, why not? A good life requires a plan. I think I can do it.

Just a few years behind you.....Sailing season is over and now getting ready for ski season...as a retired career firefighter/medic I often had several other jobs when off shift. I've retired 3 times...Now my only job is shuttling grandchildren, attending sporting events sitting them with my bride ( can't say BABY SITTING the older ones take umbrage ). My greatest fear is loosing the edge by dialing it back, so it's still full tilt....

And not to slight anyone, Michael, I still look forward to learning more about the beautiful sailing waters surrounding your home. Many dark ales are waiting for us to discover after sailing on the magic waters.

Twenty years ago, Sue and I took my mom, her brother, her sister and brother-in-law for a day sail. I was 45 years old at the time and the average age of the "crew" was 78.33.
As we approached the dock, my uncle [96] and uncle-in-law [94] were both standing on the rail with dock lines and stepped off for a perfect tie off. Given my ancestry, I hope to have a few more decades in me.

Sounds like your DNA has favorable potential.

Not as spry as I once was, but the spirit is alive and well.

Any Hadley updates to share? I'm hoping to spend some water time around the islands this Thanksgiving, 11/28-12/1.

Interesting. I am in Salem and have been neglecting the boat. Still need to resolve the companion way ladder. I'll look at the logistics. If I had to say today it is likely not ready. I'll put my mind onto the subject.
