You know as we get older I think it is the mobility issue that concerns all of us the most. Just after I hauled myself up the ladder to the bungalow a while ago I remarked to Mike that it was a good thing we did this now because in 10 years we might not be able to manage that ladder.

Where does the ladder start and end?? Trying to envision

Here's the ladder - it has a lot of stairs going down into the water but you still have to be fairly comfortable holding on and climbing down:

Makes sense now! I wasn't thinking in and out of the water and was visualizing you climbing a ladder into and out of your bungalow. The picture in my head was very Robinson Crusoe but over water!

Before I had surgery, I was swimming off my uncle's boat. Having the time of my life, until it was time to use the ladder to get back on the boat. I could not pull my bulk out of the water on the first couple of trys. I think a shot of adrenaline finally helped me. But it was scary, feeling like I was stranded in the water...
