I'm 73 now, and single handing. I have absolutely no plans to quit any time soon. In fact, planning

To sail my 18 foot open trimaran in a thing called the Texas 200 in June- 200 miles in five days up inside the barrier islands, and camping out on them each night . Here's a video taken from the tri in 2012 by my crew that year to give you an idea of what it's like

A different young lady will be crewing for me this year

Then in either late August or early Sept I plan to provision Tehani and head eastward for 5- 6 months (or so) Hoping to be able to make it back to the Bahamas, but if not, then I'll cruise the Keys

I am VERY fortunate to have excellent health, and am still in good physical condition which makes a huge difference. Hopefully it'll stay that way for a long time yet.
