Decades ago when I first fell victim to the seduction of sailboats and the adventures of Lynn and Larry and Hal and Margaret and Susan and Eric and Don Street and the Carpenters and Bernard Moitessior and Sterling Hayden and Sir Chichester and Robin-Knox and so many others, all I wanted to do was cruise my sailboat forever....but now, you know what?......the dream of cruising my sailboat on an open ended voyage throughout the Caribe is still burning in my soul as hot as ever........but forever.?....As I vintage, it seems to me that the world holds in its embrace so much adventure that has nothing to do with the sea........ how about a nice retirement village in Florida or Texas or Arkansas or maybe Lake Chapala? ....become a land dweller and over coffee with your lifemate listen to the beautiful birds as they mate...or play dominos with your pals at the library or get together with your compatriots for birding lessons or meet for dinner for the 4 pm special at the Golden Corral and discuss all your life's frustrations?.......how about sitting in your chair and withering before your grandchildren....this is bliss? right? at least there is no danger here!...... HOLD ON , listen to me!!! This is..... where we want to..be?? ..right...this is..! Oh wait a minute! .....Aw www never mind...what in the heck was I thinking???? SHOOT ME NOW................................
Take care my friends...."Life is half spent before we know what it is."-George Herbert
