Real good to hear from you. We were kinda left hanging as to your well being.
Are the 'white coats' fitting you with a white coat that has those extra long sleeves yet ??
Good to know that you are taking care of your heatlh issues John.
A nice downhill run is what you deserve.3rd time will do it.  |

The last time I had to sail south halfway to the Galapagos before turning for Hawaii. Going south is a battle where going north west is a sleigh ride. They say the third time is a charm. I am taking a rabbits foot with me this next time..    ..... .i2f |

Unfortunately it's a wee bit more serious than a bite. The good news is the doctors so far think I can be back on the boat in January. I am near S.F., and going to UCSF for treatment. Treatment begins on Monday, and if things go well will only last 6 weeks. I'll poke my nose in the door now, and then now that I have internet access.  ........ i2f

Hey John - good to hear from you Buddy. Sorry to hear it's more serious but happy to see you're dealing with it and working towards getting back on board. Keep us posted - we're all rooting for you to complete that crossing.

Thanks for the update Maurice. Been wondering how he was doing.
Is that tracking program still working?

Seems I have stirred some curiosity, and have not been forgotten...lololol... Yes I am back on the boat with a more than ever determined attitude. I fired the white coats. I had 3 doctors, and they all had different opinions of my future. I decided not to be a science project, and live my life with joy, and not wither away at UCSF until my last breath.
We can still followed at SPOT TRACKER, and I have started writing a blog, SAILING with CANCER, One man's race against time! The blog is having a wee bit of a technical problem, but we are working that out. If not we will just post on SPOT.
I decided to go forward with being public to make people understand you can buy almost anything, but time. If you have a dream to live it no matter what the hobby, or goal is. Our health like mine can be gone in a day, or second.
The doctors knocked me down 60 lbs in weeks, and nearly killed me. I have put at least 20lbs back on, and I am carrying water jugs, batteries, and what ever else it takes. I am low on stamina, and about half my strength, but I am pushing forward. My sailing mentor is coming aboard for the sail to Hawaii. We will see if I keep adding strength? If so Mel & I will continue on alone.
I have had some folks from here drop me a line with well wishes. All notes help me walk straighter, taller, and stronger, and I would like to say thanks. This includes the posts here too. I'll type with you all in a couple of days......i2f
