Singlehanding - Sleeping - Good Idea?

I just googled fogey and got this:
"Fogey," of course, is, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it so well, "a disrespectful appellation for a man advanced in life, especially one with antiquated notions; an old-fashioned fellow." The word (also spelled "fogy," by the way) is probably Scottish in origin, but its ultimate roots are a bit uncertain. It's possible that "fogey" is based on an antiquated sense of "foggy," which meant "moss-covered," but my favorite theory traces it to the Scottish word "foggie," meaning a kind of brown bumblebee."
A guess were a bunch of old bumblebees. I thought we were closer to barnacles. That term I understand (as i pick an old bumper out of the water)
