"When they pry my cold dead hands from the helm. And even then, reluctantly."
I greatly admire friends who, at 89 and 88 respectively, have just this year sold their boat and house and gone into an assisted living development. His health has been an issue for the last couple of decades. Two heart attacks at the wheel, macular degeneration that lost him his driver's license 4 or 5 years ago. But until last summer, 2 to 3 months cruising the inside passage as far north as Alaska or over to Haida Gwai every summer for the last 30 to 35 years. I hope to do so well.
