Getting back on the horse again
 
I'll bet everyone in here has had the living **** scared out of them at
some point or another on the water whether caused by questionable judgment
and/or action or unforeseen circumstances or any of a thousand other
causes. Yet, we go out again. I have read and enjoyed vicariously the
plans and preparations of the masters of the Flying Pig. I hope they get
back on the horse -or "Pig" as it were- as soon as they can and carry on.

As we were having our Red Cross arranged dinner after procuring our
Red Cross room accommodations, Lydia wondered if she'd lost her nerve.

With a couple of days under her belt, it's looking more like she's
OK. For myself, I had no doubt whatsoever I'd get back on, and Ride
The Pig (apparently a cartoon for which someone in another group
actually sent us a blanket!).

More later as I get caught up...

Glad to hear your both OK, and that it looks like your boat is fixable.
I wish you the best possible luck in getting the funds together to do
so. You have allready proved you are not a quitter, You *will* sail the
Flying Pig again.
