Yep, Ann and I adhere to this motto as well... and ya know what? Wherever we end up, there we are!

BTW, Wanderer III is still cruising today, currently in the Falklands.

when I was a youngster, I told my dad I wanted to hitchhike through Europe....my plan was to be gone for a year...
My dad said fine and opined I'll be back in 3 months...
3 years later I knocked on his door....said....I'm back....now I want to build a boat and see the rest of the world...once again, this time, he opined that I'll never complete it...3 years later I sent him a photo of me and my boat as I left.....
Um....that was 40 years ago now......still goin'....
