The Day After


Bear is pain free today.  It is amazing technology to take one of invalid to cruiser in one day.  Today, we do nothing.  Tomorrow, we have a final check up then head back to Charleston to restart the cruise. 
Thanks to all who have expressed best wishes.   The events of the past few months have emphasized the importance of the old cruisers mantra “Go.  Go now before it is too late”.  This week, we got a second chance and we plan to make the most of it.  Bear can now enjoy shore liberty and walks on the beach.  We will now launch our dinghy and explore those little coves around the bend.  Maybe the week in the comfort zone was just the thing to help us get past the heat of this time of the year and it gave us the opportunity to have the life lines fabricated and installed on Why Knot, locate a spare prop and add some additional communications equipment to ship’s inventory.  So, it has not all been hospitals merely a chapter in the life of ships crew.
