Sir,

I am in my mid-fourties and in denial. Near Ottawa, where I normally live, our local ski hill has a corner reserved for 60+, 70+ and 80+. The section is full! I hope to have the physical and mental abilities to join the likes of this group in such activities!

On top of that, I can think of no greater joy than undertaking such activities with your partner in life! How wonderful and special!

I've heard it many times...todays 60's are yesterday's 50s (or even 40s)...and so on. I believe it.

By the way, there is a charming couple, here in Guyana of all places, that were liveaboards until very recently (they built a house on the river). The boat is anchored off shore. They were on a long term cruise and "settled" here. If I'm not mistaken he is in his late 70s and she is in her early 60s.

My wife is an MD, and she treats many seniors. Anecdotally, she tells me that active adults, no matter what the age, have fewer chronic illnesses than younger inactive adults. They also heal faster!


Good luck with your adventures. Many have preceeded you..and many will also follow!
