As I've aged "The Dream" has changed significantly. What was once sail the north passage while I'm young then spent the rest of my life in the tropics aboard a sailboat morphed to traverse the intercoastal and work my way to the tropics. That in turn has finally changed to drive from New England to Alaska towing my amphibious plane and stop frequently along the way to fly.

It finally came to the horrible realization of what's happened to me when my wife finally agreed but suggested we buy a Winnebago for this trip. My immediate though was quick, buy another boat and get on it but with my 58th birthday looming, her suggestion is sounding okay.

What the hell happened to me
