Steve, I've been self employed since 1975, working as a musician and freelance outdoor writer, and to be perfectly honest, when I walked away from the field of cardio-pulmonary medicine I never looked back. So, now I make my own, very busy, hectic schedule, still working 5 to 7 days a week, but the job is more fun than it should legally be. Additionally, on those few days a month I don't have to perform I'm out on that Morgan 33 Out Island sailboat, sipping a cold one and watching the world go by. I just got back from checking on the boat to make sure the winter cover is holding up and double checked the charge state of the batteries.
So when summer gets here, and you and your wife have nothing on the bucket list that must be filled, you guys have an open invitation to come down and spend a pleasant weekend sailing Chesapeake Bay with me and my wife. The boat has lots of room, all the amenities, fully stocked bar, kitchen, stove, refrigerator freezer, great view from the sun deck, and lots of comfort.
