In this month's issue of Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors, the cover story is about a couple still boating at ages 103 and 96!
They were sailors for most of their lives, and bought an American Tug 34 8 years ago - when he was 95.
If that wasn't impressive enough, this summer they stepped up and bought a larger boat, an American Tug 41! At ages 103 and 96!!!
I most likely won't even live to anywhere near those ages, and will be lucky enough to still be boating (or even upright) by the time I'm 80.
Wherever you are, raise a glass and toast to the continued good health of Herb and Ruth Weiss. They are an admirable role model to all of us for how to do it right. May we all aspire to live as fully as they clearly have.
(Can't post the entire article, but it's worth buying the issue if you don't have a subscription)
