Re: Owner aging along with classic Hatteras
Guys,
I use to laugh at the old heads when I was a young buck about getting old. Now as I’m getting older I am that old head preaching to the young bucks. At 45 I am starting to feel it. I use to work like a animal. Now I try to work smarter. Sometimes! lol

Re: Owner aging along with classic Hatteras
While an interesting approach, it is not obvious to me that this leads to more energy to accomplish my OLD HATTERAS list of todo's.
And one must always consider the negative side effects of any lifestyle change, which in my case would be severe when I get caught, if not sooner.

Re: Owner aging along with classic Hatteras
When I was 20 I could work for 20 hours straight now forget it. I could probably pull it off but I have learned to enjoy life. I fix things that have to be fix. I am careful with the camera angle, she looks amazing in sunset photos.

Re: Owner aging along with classic Hatteras
You are children! I am 87 and have been paralyzed from the waist down for 20 years. Had a Bertram 46 that I bought in '87, fished extensively, but when I couldn't walk moved to a 1992 Hat 65' cruiser. Perfect choice! Put in an elevator from the saloon into the cedar closet and opened the aft railing so that the davit crane (hydraulic and remote) could get me from the tender, dock, bridge or whatever and onto my boat(s). Carry a crew that spoils me (I'm spending my kids inheritance) and go wherever the weather allows. Just got back from the Bahamas, presently in Marathon in the Florida Keys. Think of it as the Bahamas with American Disability Act; everything's accessible, water's clear. Have a van for land travel, the Hat and a tender for water. Cruised the ICW, Gulf and Cross State Waterway. Won't go anywhere where you can walk on water; if it freezes the heck with it. Life is a banquet so eat hearty, my friends! No one gets out alive.

Re: Owner aging along with classic Hatteras
All I have to do to feel younger (I'm 62) is read a thread like this one.
I've got 24 years to go according to my plan - live to 96 and be shot by an outraged father..."The older I get, the faster I was......."

Re: Owner aging along with classic Hatteras
Dave, You have 34 years to go to 96......but why stop there. By the time you turn 96 the average
life expectancy will probably be much higher than it is now. As Forest Gump said "life is like a box of
chocolates, you never know what you will get". Savor every day............
