I get more man made every tear. Btreast bone wired together. SS stent
in my Heart. Plastic lenses in both eyes.

Still sail but not as much as a few years ago or as far. Have been
seriously considering a good comfortable Day Sailor but so far the
Pilothouse sloop still serves me well.

Stay with as big a boat as you can be comfortable with Thom, it seems that as the boat gets smaller you have
to do more and more work to keep them upright. At your age you probably want to keep the motion comfort as high as
possible and the agility factor as low a possible, next year you'll be getting electric winches! ;-)
