A launch delay

The back issue has improved but is not resolved.  Bear cannot enjoy the cruise as much as possible with the problem unresolved.  Accordingly, we made the decision that we would contact a spine clinic and pursue a course of action that will, we hope, resolve it once and for all.  That might be optimistic but we need to reduce the discomfort to the lowest level possible.  We spent the day at the clinic and an MRI facility and will have treatments every day possible for the next few weeks.  That will not keep us from cruising north but it will hold us in places for a few days at the time so we can get back to Jacksonville.  Thus, the agenda shifts from purely cruising to a combination of that and medical visits since Bear has little confidence in the ship's doctor.
