    Denny,
    I liked how you responded to the USCG Sea Time posted. If you don't mind I have a question for you. What do you enjoy most flying or sailing? I ask this because I was thinking that since I do not live near the coast that maybe I should take up private pilot lessons. I am an old guy so I need to factor that in as well. As I understand it, getting a medical approval can be difficult. . I know the AOPA has been working on this but I wanted your thoughts. Thank you Charles
