This was one of the few threads I've read all posts on

Interesting reading the different stories of body frailties as we get older and how most push through as long as they can.

I could have kept pushing but when you realize you can break bones doing essentially nothing out of the ordinary and how easy it would be to fall on a boat it made no sense to continue for me. I don't want the wife to deal with a broken husband while offshore or even worse, being by myself with a broken femur trying to get home alone.
