Unfortunately, Donny, most of my friends that were somewhat active are now imfirmed or dead, therefore, most of my sailing excursions are single handed. I have the boat set up for safety with a lifeline trailing behind in case I happen to fall overboard, a swim ladder that I can deploy from the water to climb back aboard, and a jackline that runs from the cockpit to the bow to which I attach my safety harness to prevent me from falling overboard. A heart attack would probably do me in, though it beats the hell out of the way I am slowly dying at this stage of the game - slow suffocation is a bitch!

While I'm gone, I will do my best to keep in touch via the smart phone and post some photos and vids of the voyage.

Thanks for caring,

Gary
