I appoogize for any tasteless interpretations. I guess I assumend
anyone who posted such disclosive comments in a place like this was
acceptable to a comment like mine.

Skip has contributed a lot to the this
group,...certainly to
anyone reading here to learn and plan a cruising lifestyle. He has been
incredibly generous with the lessons of his learning curve without much
regard for his self image. He really deserves a lot of respect and, from
the sound of it, compassion.

Yes, Skip has been incredibly open and descriptive. And, while I shake
my head in wonder at times, am thankful for his candor.

....all it would take is one small clot the
size of a pencil point or a few cells going rogue to make that a very bad
decision from the life dreams and cruising point of view.

Agreed. to be honest we all are in that boat. I take my asprin daily,
eat organic oats with soy milk just for that reason!

Unless he is not telling the whole story im not sure what he has to be
so bumbed out over.

He has:
a great boat
experienced a crash with out injury
got to boat around the east coast.
has a wife who, up till now at least, agrees to sail.
and is healthy enough to be in the general population and NOT in the
ER, ICU, or MedSurg.

Am I missing something? I thought Skip wanted to sell everything and
follow his dream. He's there. He's livin' the dream !........... now
what?

In 1973 I realized that Paradise is beautiful but also comes with
flesh eating flies, malaria carrying mosquitoes, and bacteria that ate
big green sores in my knees and ankles.
