Admiral Dingy in front of my Dinghy of Dreams!
Numerically speaking age is nothing more than a number, it’s simply a number that goes with our physical body. Meaning we where born x number of years, months, weeks and days ago. In point of fact, we carry this number around with us and it does not stand dormant, it grows with each tick of the clock. We measure it in time!
TIME; what is time? The French horde it, the Swiss manufacture it, the Hindus say it don’t exist, the Italians squander it, the Americans say it is money, and me I navigate around the world with time as my way to find where I am on this Earth. I personally thank it is a thief; it is robbing me of my time that I have left on this water planet as I sail the oceans of the world aboard my 9’ 11” Dinghy! There is 24 hours in a day, 1,440 minuets and 86,400 seconds in that same day. I have reached the autumn of my life; I, am now considered a senior and I wish to invest the time that I have left in sea adventures aboard my Dinghy of Dreams.
What notes a senior or an elderly person? Actually you are considered a senior by some establishments at 45 or 50, however 55 is probably the most correct.
Now the point of fact has been established I’m old at the time of this writing I’m 66 years and 6 month old that is 66.6 ARRRGH not a good number. Oh well in two more days it will change to 66.7 that sounds better then 3-6’s.
I want you to understand the problems that I am going through. I won’t bore you with ten tons of reasons why I should not be doing this around the world sea adventure. Let’s just say that they think that I am too old and that my Dinghy is too small and will founder and sink once I get out of the harbor and into the open ocean. ARRRGH Now I ask you what do you think?
My posture is this I have the attitude, the fortitude, the ways and the means to complete my sea voyage. I have built my Dinghy of Dreams. I shell be “Surviving on the Savage Seas” its sink or swim and my Dinghy of Dreams swims very well!
