I've got it planned out... long as I remain fit enough to pull it off.
Die on the water is my choice of Goodbye!
1. Taint gonna fade away inside old age rest home! Seen too much of that. F that Sht.
2. Plan to always have some sort of fair sized and comfortable pleasure boat up and running.
3. Imagine I'll know [have a damn good idea anyway] when "my ball's past the plate"... for the last inning, that is!... regarding what my future holds for any worthwhile additional longevity. I do not want to stay around to simply become a burden [seen too many like that]
4. So here's da plan.......
a. Quietly go to boat, early in morning on calm day, and idle out to open water.
b. Write a nice goodbye letter and tape it onto salon steering wheel.
c. Activate EPIRB or similar and leave it on dash board.
d. Make one short radio contact with and succinct message to CG.
e. Put boat in idle and lock it in full right rudder with a bungee cord on wheel.
f. Sit on gunnel or transom or swim step with loaded 357 pistol.
g. Place anchor and short chain firmly onto an appendage with heavy duty snap tie. Pull trigger. Fall into water. Goodbye!!
No muss, no fuss, nothing to clean up [maybe a slight splatter or two - lol]. CG takes boat back in. I'd leave boat in good condition so family can have good luck during estate sale.
I'd be talken to the fishes! Similar to as my folks are doing for eternity in Penobscot Bay Maine. Only difference - no one need spread my ashes like we did theirs. What a macabre set of days that was after watching them wither away for months of pain and agony. I believe when it's time to die - It's Time To Die! - Get Er Done! When health and future-good lies ahead then it is time to live! When it's time to end... it is time to end, period!
