We have a few oldsters here, but most switch to trawlers or get out of
boating altogether before they hit 70.

Hmm. Back when I was looking I looked at a 27' Italian boat that was being
sold by an 89 year old owner. He decided he had finally gotten too old.

There are always exceptions to every rule. I used to skydive with an
oldtimer. Walt was in his late 60s when I began jumping, and he continued
for a few years after I quit. He was in his upper 80s when he died, and
some said he made a few jumps in the years between his 80th birthday and his
death.
