What is your Age group

[CAPTAIN FANTASTIC]

I'm 60 - 70 group. Does anyone have any advice on what I should do when I grow up?

Circumnavigation, Blue Water sailing, Skinny-dipping

No, how old you feel depends entirely on how old the woman you are feeling up is.

That's a really convoluted way of re-stating the old maxim "You're only as old as the woman you feel".

Maybe not remembering the pithy version is a symptom of old age?

But really doesn't entirely answer the broader question about those continuing to sail? I have come across quite a few real oldies (?70-80?).

If that range is what you call "real oldies" what then would you call me at 81?

Not everybody of that vintage bothers with too much electronic communication as far as I'm aware.

Well, I was on-line with Compuserve long before this forum existed.

Here I am setting off single-handed on last year's Adriatic cruise.

Good for you Barnacle.

Thanks, but I don't consider it anything special, I am fit and healthy as far as I know and just as able to jump around and haul on lines as I always did, without having followed any fitness regime - other than summer sailing, regular cycling to get around locally and only rarely using the car for weekly shopping.

It's all the luck of the draw and inherited genes. As they say, if you want a long and healthy life, choose your parents well.
