hey all I see your still not sailing? hrm it would help if you
patch the holes in the bottom of your sailboats lol

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

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

If she lived in Canada she would have died waiting on the list
for the operation.

Nope... emergency surgery always is immediate and takes priority. Elective
surgery, no life threatening medical attention is placed to a wait list.

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.

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

Mu aunt broke her hip and waited 6 weeks for surgery....it depends on the
definition of "emergency"...

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...
