Count Down


Nanc has finished six rounds of chemo since our last trip South to the Bahamas last Winter, and she has decided not to do any more at this time. We spent a week in Myrtle Beach and decided to live each day to the fullest and head South a third time. Hence the title Recovery. It will again be cold, but I still have "Mr Heater" and Marcnicliz is ready to go back into the water. Joe Davenport (our neighbor) will start out with us for a week or so. We had put Marcnicliz up for sale after Nanc had surgery to remove her left lung and then chemo at M D Anderson in Houston. I sold the dingy and motor, and I did not believe we would ever cruise again. Nanc is amazing, and she has recovered to the point where she wants to go again. I have bought a new dingy, and we plan on departing Deltaville Sunday morning (2/13/11) and sail to Norfolk. Passing thru the bridges there is easier on the weekend with no rush hour restrictions on openings to contend with. The weather man is calling for snow on Thursday and warming by the weekend. Next week looks sunny thru about Thursday. The enclosure works fine when the Sun shines. I hope to be close to Charleston by the 17th if we can sail outside from Beaufort, NC to Wilmington, and then again outside from Southport to Charleston. Stay tuned. S

  1. Hello Speedy and Nancy ! Great to see you back on the water - John and I were thinking about you. We wish you all the best and hope that our paths will cross again soon. We still may make it to the Bahamas this year (our boat is in Jacksonville right now)... so will keep in touch.
