    At 80.had to give up my last motorcycle, after over 250,000 miles. Sold my last sailboat. Now at 85.5, I play with HO model trains and shoot a light weight recurve Bow.to backyard targets. Keep up with my Scots and geological History while making new discoveries to what I know. But then again all I know has Questions. Being on this site is also one of my pleasures. Doc, you found yours !!!

    Could we get Slomo to cruise the halls of Congress?

    • Joseph W Haley III says:

      I don’t think they would get it. We need a major replacement In those halls, with the type that are forefathers had like, saying to the neighbor, “OK, I took my turn now its yours” . Don’t forget folks, Its “for the People, by the People” !!!!

    A kindred spirit. Sail slow my friends. Gobsmacked.

  • Nick DeMarco says:

    I used to speed skate as slowly as possible for 3 hours as a kid. Now I go for a 3 hour sail and come back as refreshed as if I had full a vacation.

    Didn’t expect this on Off Center Harbour – Please can we have more!
    Great to see someone getting in touch with his inner child without embarrassment!
    Where’s my skateboard!

    Well – – – DANG! After watching this video, I NOW KNOW I NEED TO GET MY ‘SLOMO’ ON!

    Thanks Steve for this psychic health ‘booster shot’. I never realized that lateral acceleration experiences could enhance one’s sense of ‘Being’, ‘Self’, or Happiness. The good doctor may have created a new field of study – ‘The Fiziks of FUN’…
