What did I invest my time in?
I had a few boats, but my favorites were my Boston Whaler, Scarab Center Console Cuddy 26, Warlock 28, Silverton Convertible 34, Heritage East 44
I traveled some and lived in my RV for a while. Had a 5th wheel and a Pace Arrow RV
I had many motorcycles. The last was a 2007 Harley Davidson Classic
I had a few planes from an Aquilla weight shift trike to a Cessna C150. I sure miss flying around the islands of Lee County, Florida.
I just purchased a Toyota Hybrid to play with. I think they are the future in automotive unless something better comes out. At least until someone develops an affordable flying car, which is in the foreseeable future. Look out Jetsons.
When I first got into Planes, I needed a place to keep them, so I cut a deal and bought a small airport on Pine Island. There I fixed it up and lived for right at 10 years. I might still be there except the 2004 Hurricane named Charley wiped it out.
I spent a few years trying to bring it back, but it was more than I could do as the city changed building codes and restrictions.
I met a lot of great friends and learned about lots of planes.
One of the friends I met was from South Africa. He even lived with me a while. He invited me to South Africa when he got married. His parents owned a Safari Business and while in South Africa I was lucky enough to go on numerous safaris. I was able to see the back side as a local. These friends will forever be family in my heart.
I have petted White Lions, a Wart Hog, an Ostrich, a Badger, A Giraffe, and even road a big white horse on Safari?
I have been to Thailand where I rode an Elephant and visited a lot of Buddha Temples.
I have also been to Tokyo, Okinawa, Vietnam, Africa, Mozambique, Belize, Cayman, San Pedro, Hawaii, and soon will be going to Roatan and maybe Europe.
I am a PADI Certified Master Scuba Diver. I dived in many places in Kentucky and Florida Keys, San Pedro and Cayman Islands. I swam with Sharks, Manta Ray, Eels, and tons of beautiful fish. Seen a lot of wrecks, coral and met a lot of great people. A couple of them are photographers for National Geographic and have their own travel groups they entertain. If you like, I can put you in contact.
I have been White Water Rafting on the Gauley? Kayaking Cumberland below the falls, Elkhorn Creek, Ocoee, Nantahala and Canoed many Rivers?
I had an Airboat Tour business for a while in Florida, until a younger guy wanted it more than I did. 🙂 Took people on Alligator tours and to Bird Sanctuary’s on the Peace River. Driving an airboat is way different from any other boats. I enjoyed it and again met lots of people.
My Daughter puts together a family cruise each year? This year she wants us to go to Europe on a river cruise.
