Way to Go; the Boat or Rest Home?

[Pilgrimtex]

Looks like old home week. LOL. I am also a Viet Vet. and Founder of Texas County Veterans Inc. and I was born in the Bronx.
I've watched as Vets have gone into the nursing homes. Most don't last past 2 months it seems.
I have (2) 100% disabilities from the VA but I get up every morning. I will sail till I die without regrets be it tomorrow or 10 or more years. My life is my own so drink up me hearties there is a tide waiting on us.

Got me thinking about a cement boat as my next.

I can relate about the tides, some call me lazy, some call me smart, but anytime I have to work on the boat, I plan it around mean high water. I go down the ramp about halfway through the rising tide, and try to get back up the ramp no later than 1 hour after high tide. Anyway, I am planning on a variation of the scuttling the vessel with me on it. When I feel the time is nigh, and I take my final voyage, I intend to leave a treasure hunt behind with my younger kin, and whom ever can figure it out will find my boat as their inheritance. For me, it will be an anchor on my burial shroud to take me down to Davy Jone's locker. We all owe a death in this life, I hope to make it on my own terms.

DUH! It was a metaphor or whatever you call it. Gees, a guy can't get a break around here. LOL. Anyway as long as the Grog is flowing we can catch the next one. What do you do with a drunken sailor. What do you do with a drunken sailor. What do you do with a drunken sailor early in the morning. YA.

Put him to bed with the Capt'n daughter, of course.

An analogy maybe?
But I was making funny .........
The quote is "time waits for no man"
I made it "tide waits for no man"

Oh, never mind........

Oddly enough where I grew up it was " Time and tide waits for no man".

[Pilgrimtex]

That's it, an analogy. Anyway since I missed it because it wouldn't wait I enjoyed a few more with the crew. Maybe more than a few more.

Yes well, any port in a tide!

I'm new to being a liveaboard and not yet a cruiser, but I do love it. When my time comes (and assuming I have notice), my end of life fantasy is to sail to the best place to hunt pirates.I'm kidding...I think.

[DumnMad]

To hunt pirates - Only Kidding? What about Blackbeard, Morgan, Black Bart, and all those other pirate ghosts around the Carribbean.

Welcome to CF lingerfeltja

[captain58sailin]

Come on over to Nigeria, we gots plenty pirates. Welcome to the forum. Most of us don't get to chose the manner of our departure, I just hope it's sudden.
