This sounds like a beautiful way to go to me. They were in their 90's, doing something they clearly loved,
with the loves of their life, with not much degenerative issues. OK, so it was a traumatic boat accident
in the 3rd world. But when you love adventure, you love the possibility of things like that happening.

What I'm seeing in the link is a full life story by passionate individuals, with a start and an end. Not tragedy. I hate to see words get abused into meaninglessness like this.
