Boat, gf and career are all 3s. I wonder what that means...

And yes this should be a poll. And the numbers should not overlap.

Is this what they call a forum dominated by a bunch of old farts?

We need YOUNG blood here. Jessica!

Afunny thing happed in Hopetown, Bahamas this winter.....Diane sailed into the harbor from the states on her Gemini Cat. Someone called her brother who was in the harbor non his custom SS 57 Ketch and said" Hey Bill... you are no longer the oldest person in the harbor!"

Bill is 80 and his sister Diane is several years older! "Lady Di" got a 20 conch horn salute... richly deserved.

Bravo! Awesome ...maybe I will get to cruise before I croak.

[Jim Cate]

Add two more 11's to the list!

And here on Insatiable II we have a motto:

We realize that we can not be forever young, but we can indeed be forever immature!

And cruising for the past 25+ years has helped us live up to our words.

Cheers,

Jim
