Tony, I've owned 16 boats since 1962, which is when I got married. Still have the same Dorris, though. This one will likely be the last, since I'm getting a bit too old to voyage more than a couple thousand miles single handed. That said, the oldest person to single hand sail around the globe was 77, and just this past year a 70-year-old lady made the voyage around all 5 capes in 325 days single handed, which is incredible. If I make the trip down the East Coast ICW to the Florida Keys in 2015, at age 75 I will be the oldest person to do that single handed. From what I've been able to determine, when I made the trip last winter at age 72, I was the second oldest person to do so. Don't count this old man out yet - I still have a couple things I want to do before I make room for someone else on the planet.

Cheers,

Gary
