Nice article. I can directly appreciate some of those items. Things
did stop an ex but hasn't dulled my desire to be out there. Can't
quite stop looking at boats but it is painful to not have one at this
point in my life. My now wife and I are just between boats thinking
the time will come.

The Hiscocks are both gone now. He died a some years before she did.
Not sure how many. She kept on sailing though. When she finally
"quit" she kept a dinghy and regularly sailed it. Raced it I think I
remember reading. Seems like she died just a couple years ago.
