Back on the boat tonight after spending 2 nights at Mom's while Ele & Finn were here. I've seen all my dock friends -- John & Sherri from Winston-Salem, Gary [the other Gary] and his family from Raleigh, and our pals George & Betty are back at C-Dock after a brief Spring hiatus.
George & Betty are the most active Septuagenarians I've ever known (or even heard of!). They put us young folk to shame around here. George is 76 and Betty is 72, originally from just outside Charlotte at Lake Wylie. They're the "Joneses" everyone attempts to keep up here at the Marina. They inspired us to get the Sea-Doo's (the Jet Skis) JUST like theirs. They go on 600 mile Jet Ski Trips several times a year.
When they're not jet-skiing, they're taking their immaculately clean and sparkling boat "On The Go II" out on overnights (sipping drinks from their "On The Go II" cups, wearing matching "On The Go II" T-shirts and inviting guests on board to wipe their feet on the "On The Go II" welcome mat).
When they're not out on the boat, George cheers Betty on at her basketball games. She plays on a seniors team -- competitively. They are the loveliest couple. I'll try to get a picture of them to post over the next few days. They are such an inspiration with a lifestyle definitely worth aspiring to!
