Nira,
There's a place just north of you past Dunedin on the isthmus between the mainland and the bird sanctuary where they rent Holder's and Hobie's, both cat and centerboard....it's not expensive, the water's pretty shallow, so you can see where the hammerheads are and there are a lot of little cays you can explore....they don't let you sail outside the bay, though but there's plenty of toom in there to spend a couple of hours just dinking arouind...it might be a cheap way for you to get started... "NH~_/)~" wrote in message news:rBcNd.16783$uc.3028@trnddc03... Hi John Sorry dude I'm not a sailor like you are -- I'm one of those wanna be's what the heck why lie about it. I got real sick and the dang doctor took all our money we had saved -- kidney removal. If you remember I was a power-boater wanting to learn sailing that's how I found this group. Now I just log on once in an while and tease a little and to say hi. less than 80 words :P NH_/)_ "John Cairns" wrote in message om... "NH~_/)~" wrote in message news:Kp3Nd.9502$Dc.7604@trnddc06... hey all I see your still not sailing? hrm it would help if you patch the holes in the bottom of your sailboats lol NH_/)_ So, in 100 words or less, tell us all about your last great sailing experience of over 1 week or 500 nm. Making it real easy, it doesn't have to be consecutive miles. John Cairns |

You blew it. You should have gone down to Mexico and advertised you had
a kidney to sell. They would have paid you plenty for it and the operation would have been free. They would have only found out later that it was defective but you'd have been off sailing your new expensive yacht purchased with your bad kidney.

If she lived in Canada she would have died waiting on the list for the operation. CN "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message news:nVcNd.1221$K54.153@edtnps84...

CM Then she would have been placed on that waiting list. One kidney is good enough to keep person alive and healthy. Other than controlling the infection, the bad kidney posed no real threat. CN |
"Capt. Neal®" wrote in message Then she would have been placed on that waiting list. One kidney is good enough to keep person alive and healthy.

Yup... if it wasn't life threatening.. she would be placed on a list... but a six month wait would have left her savings intact. If an emergency had occurred during the wait... she would have been tended to immediately. It's got it's problems... but nobody here would trade it for a system like the one you have in the USA. CM |
So, just how much can one get for a kidney south of the border?

Without the research our system generates, Canada would be much worse off.
You guys need us whether you like it or not. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message news:t0hNd.14418$tU6.10890@edtnps91... "Capt.
