Of course! Those were the days... That was back when everything was simple. Life made sense. I enjoy a good storm in a boat, it can be quite exhilerating, Gives you a slight idea of what those crazy old timers had to battle. I am just amazed at the things they did and more often then not, got away with! Have you seen master and commander? From what I could see, it was pretty accurate, very interesting. Made me sick to see those beautiful old ships. those miles of hand woven rope, hand sitched sails, HAND BUILT EVERYTHING. countless man-hours of highly skilled work that few people possess anymore. THEN they shoot each other full of holes, all that work only to sink (with a little luck) Unbelievable!
Crazy old timers...
