Better than going to the Gym

[Fingal]

Saturday and Sunday heaving sails up a ladder, touching up paint and doing sundry other pre launch tasks. Monday arrived at Barcaldine to find the Green Boat riding nicely at a mooring, then off to Dunstaffnage for a couple of nights with hose and electric to finish cleaning and generally get her ready to rock'n roll.
On Wednesday 2/3 of the syndicate had a brisk sail up the Lynn of Lorn, testing the new furling headsail, a little bigger than the old one and the usual excellent work from Owens. The new autohelm also works so we are happy old geezers.
I am however quite stiff and sore after all that physical effort. I'm sure I will feel the benefit eventually.

I trust you have been watching BBC1 "How to Stay Young". There is a wee quiz at http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/zg3hk7h to help you gauge your decrepitude. You'll be pleased to know that apparently my body is considerably younger than me!

I tried that and it think's my body is 70.

52.
I'm 14 years older than that.

Well, I am evidently 55 which is 11 years younger than it says on my documents. It must be all that fresh salty air.

5'5" I'd believe. I would hazard a guess you understated your alcohol intake - the limit was 14 units a week, not a night.

I was honest and it told me I was 83. That's plus 11. I really must get a grip.
