Hard life, old looking 61.

All that sun on pale skin.

Seems really happy though.

You are using the wrong link

Click on "share", then click "embed" then click on "copy" in the pop up window that opens

You are clicking "share" then "copy" in first window.

Electronics were from the 70's. Good stuff, but not useful anymore. I got lucky and got hit by a lightning strike, and it it killed everything, and insurance paid, so I could buy the new one.

I'm happy for the guy.

I'm a farmer at heart. The sea is an amusement to me. I would not want to live there. But I'm glad for those who would and can.

That boat needs a good scrub from top to bottom but otherwise seems serviceable.

Most boats from the era are long gone. It's amazing that this one has survived.

YouTube. Share, embed, copy - there is literally the word copy lower right of the embed string, and paste it into text field. That is a right click on the mouse once you click inside the text box here. You have to then choose paste to put the embed string into the text box.

I see it's been covered but I'll let this stand.

Ramonesfresk is probably having the same issue.

Only available “Share” options are messages, copy link, gmail, Twitter, and email, as shown above (and no, clicking “more” doesn’t get it either.

Confirmed. Don't know why.

The woodwork and joinery in those days was so very good. We toured the Gamble House in Pasadena and it was built by shipwrights to very high standards from the same era. This boat in it's prime was a work of art but at 100yrs old she needs continuous maintenance to keep her from finding the bottom. Cheers to him finding his joy on the water!

Here is another cool expedition boat with a solo captain in Fiji. I think the proper term for this lifestyle is "self actualization". The boat is also up for sale.
