"How A Boat Can Make Retirement A Pleasure"
- by John Edwardson
==========================================================
Boats are a fine part of any man's retirement. They give us something
to do, offer us new places to see and keep us active mind, body and
spirit. We in turn need to care for our boats. Repair and
maintenance, proper crewing and proper financing including boat
insurance are all things that we need to do to keep our boats safe.
Everyone needs something to do. When we retire far too many of us
lose our will to keep striving. All of us, need to feel needed, we
need to feel like we are doing something worthwhile. For women, this
is often simply the continuation of home life and domestic
tranquility that made up most of their lives.
Men on the other hand live their lives with a goal. We work for fifty
or more years striving to bring home the bacon. Having a goal in
front of us is necessary for our psyche. Many men simply die after
retiring because they have nothing to do.
Having a boat gives a man something to do. Keeping it in good repair,
learning the skills needed to keep it sailing smoothly and keeping
track of the finances including things like boat insurance keeps them
sharp.
A boat can take you places you have never been before and no two
sunrises are the same at sea. You will travel to new places and meet
new people, something that will keep anyone young at heart.
Nearly everywhere even inland states have places for someone to enjoy
boating. Even if you are on a small lake you will get a different
perspective. If you are on the ocean you will find another whole
life. The best parts of life still need financial maintenance like
mooring fees, licensing and boat insurance.
When we are active we are happier. A man with something to do, a
purpose to life is a man who will live longer. Some men can do little
things, reading, golfing, fishing from the dock or making a model.
These things are all fine activities; I enjoy them myself.
Some need more to do. A boat is a good step down for some. It does
not require too much of your time but just enough. Little things like
checking on the lanyards or the boat insurance can keep you young and
happy in spirit.
