Listen to your wife

Jim says, "I call this current time "my bonus years." I like to say "I'm past my expiration date." I like Jim's better. Well, I am the same age as Dr. Thataway (eighty eight) and although I never crossed the Atlantic on my own boat I did on a heavy cruiser and saw the Carribean on an LST. MY...

My wife Dotty was an outdoorzie person for most of her life. She also was a liveaboard for her first 18 years. Yet, inevitably, the time came when she could no longer safely climb onboard our 16 footer. We sold it and figured our boating time was over. Then, out of the blue, our son bought a 21...

Our C-Brat friend JamesTXSD used to live on South Padre Island way down in south Texas. You might review his posts about that area. It sounded like a great place. Roseann congratulations on your retirement.
