1. Did you sail more in the first five years or in the last five
years?

First 5 by far



2. If the answer to number 1. is the last five years, were you retired
during that time?

I was born retired


3. Have you owned multiple boats and has each one been larger and more
expensive than the one before it?

Yes of course, always bigger and better.


4. As you moved up in boat size did that also correspond with moving
up professionally with more stress, responsibility and time
constraints?

Not professionally, my career peaked several years ago when I lost
100's of thousands of other peoples money with a cinamatic failure. I
do have more stress since I'm a real old father, Good lord my when my
boy's 17 I will be in my 60's talk about stress.

Yes it is harder and harder to get my wifes permission to use her
boats.


6. Did you raise kids and during the time that they had conflicting
interests and activities, did that contribute to less sailing.

Man o man, you hit the nail on the head there, my boy take all my
energy. I should have had kids in my 20's but I wasen't able to produce
sperm then.


7. Did a high percentage of your closest sailing friends and
acquaintences at the start of your sailing carreer at some point move
from sail to power or off the water altogether?

Yes all my friends have power boats. Few sail, I have to go to the bus

8. Even when you owned boats did you do bareboat charters on a regular
basis.

Yes I love naked sailing.

Race all the time, even have a G suit.
