(348 posts)My wife and I are lucky enough that we winter on a sailboat in the Caribbean. This year we left late after having missed 19 months due to a round of surgeries for lucky old me. Well, we got to Grenada on Feb 25.
The boat was a mess, so it took us a couple of weeks of hard cleaning and fumigating and more cleaning and repairing to get it back in the water. We finally did.
However, during our time of hard work, the world went to hell. We're bow in the water and facing either flying home, and running the risk of catching this damned thing (we're both is very high risk categories) or we stay put and face down an approaching hurricane season predicted to be a bit busier than normal.
Have I thought about my own mortality lately? Um, yep. And, it sucks because I have to first be sure my wife is take care of (Its how i was raised).
