In 1997 he purchased the totally bare hull of a burnt out fishing trawler as a retirement project for the distant future. He’d always wanted a big family boat.
In 1999 he had a major stroke. It forced him into retirement.
Clearly project time had arrived. But it proved much bigger and more complicated than he’d ever imagined. It took over six years. He renamed the boat HOSFUS (don’t ask!).
About four years its re-launch, he became unable to bend enough to do even normal maintenance on it, and had to sell it. Selling was like a death in the family.
He is now old and crunchy, retired, and completely devoted to the pursuit of slack living. In the course of slack living he wrote these two stories for his granddaughter Elizabeth.view less
