I had a sailboat many years ago.  The costs for the year or so I owned it were more than $1000 for each time I took it out to sea. I lost a lot of enthusiasm for boat ownership.

I’ve got a brother in Canada who’s a retired lifeguard. He owned a yacht but found it similarly too expensive to keep and ended up selling it. Three of my coins incidentally are shipwreck coins. Two are a gold Brazilian and British sovereign coin salvaged from the RMS Douro which sunk in a collision in 1882. I managed to acquire the old Douro Cargo auction catalogue redolent of smoke-filled auction houses of the 90s. The other coin is not a shipwreck coin as such but a quarter ounce silver Britannia coin struck in 2014 from a silver ingot salvaged from the SS Gairsoppa which was torpedoed by a German U-Boat in 1941.

The surf seems to be getting more and more crowded every year but I am not nearly as grouchy as I look (this is actually my happy face!).
