I will be retiring from the Canadian Coast Guard come Feb, after 32 yrs of sailing it time to drop anchor and drive Gail nuts everyday instead of every other 28 days!!

...So what you're trying to say is "your getting short?"

Congratulations Dave and I'm sure that Gail will enjoy having you home everyday (well sort of...)

jledou · 06-14-2011, 11:04 PM

Congratulations Dave! What's the over and under on Gail sending you back to work?

Exactly what the old man said! Oh wait, you're both old... I don't want to confuse you...

Exactly what Peter said!

Seriously, Dave, that's awesome... congrats!!!

Awesome, Dave! Looking at minimum of 23 more years myself. Must be a great feeling to have accomplished so much. Enjoy your time!!

Canada has a Coast Guard? Didn't Boblo Island shut down decades ago and the boats dry docked?

Just kidding. Congrats on the retirement.
