Rodger,

Don't be too sad about giving up flying....at least you still have your
boat. I soloed in 1965 but had to give up pursuit of private license
when I started college....was away from flying for 22 years but
eventually got my ticket in 1988. I was a batchelor for 49 years until
I got silly in 1996 and got married. After only a few flights with wife
aboard it was evident that she was not going to like flying and I also
began to realize that the financial realities of married life indicated
I wouldn't be able to keep two expensive hobbies so the flying stopped.
I got a boat but turns out she gets seasick so the boat went too.

Looking back, I see the increasing costs of flying would have caused me
to eventually give it up anyway. And since I now probably couldn't pass
the medical exam, and with the ever increasing regulatory restrictions
I don't miss flying so much.
