spend the kids inheritance

At 55yrs old I've just retired. By the time I'd completed training I discovered that the trick of being happy has nothing to do with the job. It could be any job. But to marry, raise kids, build a house, buy a boat, work on a bit of property (land) was the real purpose. Flying is now a chapter that has closed. We've both worked hard Mrs E and myself and prepared for this. My wife has never seen St Helena and we both enjoy sailing. So we'll be off, like a bucket of prawns in a hot sun maybe, but we'll be off. She's my life, not that flying biz. That was just my profession for as long as I was permitted to practice it. Then after I've seen my relatives we'll sail on to the BVI, give the boat a good scrub up, sell it and like the man tinny said, I'll get a job for some grog money.
