I, too, am a member of that "over sixty" club, but have been following my "dream" in various ways and means over the years. I have substituted a van or bus for the sail boat, but the wanderlust is still the same (sort of) -- at one time I traveled all over the US in my 1950 Chevrolet school bus and lived out in the country near Washington DC for a few months and several summers in the parking lot in Vail, Colorado and many places in between! I now have the house, studio (I am an artist who works in porcelain) and another bus to re-do and "sail" around the country in! I still feel that the inspiration for my travels as well as my following my artistic vocation was/is, in some part, the Arthur Ransome books which I first read at age 11/12.
We all need a "dream" to follow and to follow it in actions as much as possible --- When we stop dreaming, then they start shovoling dirt on us! Keep your Dream alive!
