GL: What a year...

[Jim T]

  I am 75 and planning a "half loop" next year. Had a triple bipass 3 years
ago ,2 or 3 stents ( lost count !) . Five years ago we did the loop when I
was 70 . Press on is the message , just make allowances for possible
emergencies .  Good advice to all no matter the health situation is to get a
boat with "easy" access and good equipment , such  as anchor pullers . I
know folks who have had bi-passes 20 or more years ago , so they can be a
new lease on life. Live it now . Heichuan ( Chinese for black boat ) sends.
