So youngins and oldins alike, what is your wish for retirement? Grow old, work your *** off, collect social security and bitch about young people wasting their youth? Retire to in a mountain, become a recluse?



Mine is simple I guess, or rather ours. I'd like to sell the house, buy a sail boat and spend my golden years wondering locations near the equator, pulling into port and throwing out the anchor, for a day, week, year, who knows how long and for my last 20 years or so people will have great stories about whether or not I am still alive and where I last sent them a post card from. Fishing, listening to music wind in my sails. Every once in a while I'll stop off at the bank of bad habits and make a deposit



Yea that's right, no cars, no cell phones, no people.

 

ironically, that is very similiar to what i have planned... except i'm gonna have a pirate ship and attack other sailboats from florida.





Maybe you should start a NoPirates.com forum in the mean time??

 

HA HA yea my dad and I have always wanted to start our own pirate biz LOL



"Yes I am a pirate, 200 years to late, my cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder......my occupational hazard bein my occupations just not around.



Anyhow this is serious ***

 

my car or cars..and the open road..and speed

 

actually, i was serious Scott.... i have been planning the sailboat idea for a few years now.... just not gonna happen for a few more years. (15+)



just not as a pirate, my insurance company has a no pirates clause, the list it as a high risk occupation.

I figure, as the house is currently worth about 225k it should be worth more then enough to buy the boat I want. I'm fairly picky on the config, so the boat will cost a bit, but i figure the house will be a wash and I can retire off the rest.



LOL we'll cross paths, swap stories of our adventures and back to sea we go.

 

maybe i'll do the worlds first sailboat w/ 20B docking engine??? then you can help tow me into port when i blow an apex seal trying to park..

 

HA HA, yea I will be taking it slow, if the breeze don't get me there then I obviously didn't need to be there!

 

still have to have a real motor to get into port, they don't take too kindly to you sailing up to the dock in most places. Besides... a P-port 20B sailboat would sound sick!

 

I hope to chase summer traveling worldwide until i'm dead, the end of my will reads "cremation, spread ashes on grease spots on the garage floor"
