In 1997 he purchased the totally bare hull of a burnt out fishing trawler as a retirement project for the distant future. He’d always wanted a big family boat.
In 1999 he had a major stroke. It forced him into retirement.

He is now old and crunchy, retired, and completely devoted to the pursuit of slack living. In the course of slack living he wrote these two stories for his granddaughter Elizabeth.ver menos
