Yes, that's me, in my first car, about to floor it and lay down some tyre tracks in the back yard...
Here I am all grown up, graduated to bell-bottoms and motorcycles - and sporting a jaunty mustachio...
...and it seems along the way I've even learned to fly through the air with the greatest of ease...
...smoke the odd cigar and enjoy the odd drink (or two, judging by the glazed look on my face)
My 18 years in the corporate world (Unilever >> Guinness >> Diageo) were both fun and rewarding...
...and I managed to keep some more colorful outfits hidden between the suits in my wardrobe
Scuba diving in the early '90s, here making friends with a puffer fish (kindly demonstrating his puffing)
40th birthday celebrated sailing in the BVI (showing off my band-aid, not my facility with rude gestures)...
...and riding my new steed back in the USA (that's the kind of birthday present a guy likes to receive)
Fun in the sun and on the water, exploring (at speed) the back creeks of Shroud Cay in The Bahamas

Another great sailing day in The Bahamas - trimming the genoa on my Island Packet yacht, 'Voyager'
All that recreational sailing in the late 90s lead me into starting my own boat dealership in the USA
Some fine French cuisine and a glass of wine enjoyed in Paris on the occasion of my 50th birthday
Tied the knot three times (though all my marriages seem to have had a 3-4 year "sell by" date...)
60th birthday spent mid-Atlantic, on a crossing from Southampton to New York on the Queen Mary 2
Adventures more recently in a 'land yacht' rather than a sailboat, exploring the vastness of the USA...
...hiking around US national parks and mountain biking rather than hauling up sails for exercise
But still clinging to my UK roots (in the summer, when it's warm enough for a "99 Flake" by the seaside)

Reflecting on my life... I think I'd have to say it's been a pretty fine stroll on the beach so far...
