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.
