Thanks for the delightful read. I appreciate every detail, but the experience of an 84 year old body is still a decade away. I intend to keep the batteries in my pacemaker fresh and press on for the next decade or however many decades are to come.

Great story. From #94, July/August 2007. Not all that long ago.

Sounds like exploration and an adventure in your own backyard. I vicariously adventured with you.

Thanks for sharing

way to go, as an old and older canoe sailor that's the way to live; my thoughts were, yeah I'd rather die while I'm living too, or should that guy's family take the keys away ha ha. hope I last near that long.

Not to be too morose but that would be the way to go. I'm also hoping to last near that long. Inspirational.
