OLD FARTS BOATING
One hesitates to start a blog when one is doing something relatively commonplace. Thousands of old farts go boating around Australia every day. And yes, “boating” — not a sail tucked away anywhere. Our days of being out in the wind and getting wet are long gone. We are no longer WAFIs (a fisherman’s term, loosely translated as Wind Assisted not so clever people.) Anyway, I said I’d blog if I got an underwater camera so blog I will.
