Sail Till We Drop

Vero Beach
No LL

According the local paper, Floridians are bracing for the arrival of winter. Next Sunday, the forecast is for the temperature to sink to the low 50s at night. ;)

Last night Libby and I were enjoying dinner at the nearby Ocean Grill, right on the beach at Vero. That restaurant was a favorite of my mother Helen and her sister Gracie many years ago. It is still a very good restaurant and we enjoyed the evening celebrating Libby's Birthday.

Anyhow, the dinner led to a discussion of our life style choice. It has always been my plan to sail until we drop -- in other words indefinitely. Libby, on the other hand, assumed that we would get bored with sailing after a few years and return to a "normal" retirement on land.

Last night for the first time, Libby said that she couldn't imagine returning to land based life -- it would be terribly dull. That's really cool, now we're truly operating on the same page. Now all we need is continued good health and a bit of luck and we can say that sail till we drop is our action plan.

  1. Happy birthday, Libby! You all will be warmer than we are - we're in Beaufort, SC to wait out the cold front and then heading south to FL - see you soon, I hope. Catch up with us at http://raven-cd36.blogspot.com. We copied your idea for a blog and a lifestyle!

    See you soon -- Hilde and David
