Good, hurry up with that plan.

Though I don't necessarily agree with the rest of Bob's post, I too
would want to die on the boat rather than some dumpy old-folks'
warehouse.

As I recall, a couple of the "cruising gods" (well known authors) cut
the lines because they were told they only had months to live. They
were still going strong 20+ years later.
