I'm Back

Greetings,
          Okay, it’s been over two months since the last update I posted. No, I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. I just haven’t been super inspired to write.
          Starting back in April where I left off; Bobs visit was great. It is always good to have him aboard. I was only here for the first half of it because I took a trip up to VA to spend some time with my family and get acupuncture treatments (I’ll come back to that in a minute). After I left Bob and Johne took Second Star out to do some fishing (no catching) and go over to the BVI. It’s my understanding that they had a pretty good time. After Bob left, Johne and Sharon got to work full time on Sharons house, replacing boards on the deck, painting and doing general maintenance projects. At this point the house is ready to be listed for rent again and we’re all back to boat projects.
          My trip was a long one. I was away from Second Star for six weeks. It was great to get so much time with my family but hard to be away from home that long. The acupuncture seemed to help a lot with my overall health. My energy is good and I feel like myself. Between the acupuncture and the drugs, I’m in “remission”, which means my last three blood works have shown my thyroid hormone levels in the normal range. The down side is my eye is still wonky. At this point it looks like surgery may be needed to get that straightened out. But I have a cool pirate patch and I’m living my life. Things could be a lot worse.
          Johne is ready to get out of St Thomas and Kokomo Kat needs to come out of the water for some maintenance on her sail drives. We’ll be moving on soon to a yard that can handle her but we’re not yet sure which one or where. In the running for possible places are Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Tortola, Trinidad and Granada. I’ll post something when I know which way we’re headed.

          That’s all for now. I’ll try to get back in the habit of posting more often. Meanwhile, I hope all is well with everyone.
