I can relate. At 50 I found a 22' 1971 cabin trailer sailor abandoned on a property on the Monocacy near Fredrick MD and after a quick re title and about five years of rehabilitation, my brother and I got her back on the Chesapeake Bay again last year to explore the waters where we grew up on a boat much like the ones we had as kids. This year we are sailing the little free boat out of Annapolis over to the Eastern shore for crabbing and fishing.
Yup... For me it's wandering the grassflats with a mask and snorkel looking for seahorses... minus the nickel apiece my grand-dads gave us for them.... and passing the 20 footers with 150's on the back LOL
