January 10, 2009.....escape from doctors

We had a disappointing followup visit at the doctor yesterday as we were all set for the pathology reports but upon our arrival found out they were not finished up yet. Wanted to have the "plan" in hand in regards to what was next and how serious the tumor was but now we have to wait til next Thursday.

They did take out half of my stitches and the doc said I was clear for showers (big one for me) and any activities I felt up to. I immediately asked about sailing and he said, "fine".

So we were feeling down not getting the report as we thought we would, but thought hey we do not have anything to do until next Thursday, we have a boat and a "free pass" to sail from the doctor.....so we decided we would leave today and sail down the Keys to Key West over the next couple of days.
Loaded up with groceries this morning and headed out. Great day of sailing with winds 10-15 knots, sunny skies and temps in the high 70s.


Sailing away from the doctors in Marathon and feeling pretty good about being back on the water.





Our view today on the way to New Found Harbor (1/2 down to Key West From Marathon) and Angela takes the "saddle" to watch for lobster traps.


Finally sunset this evening as well as the full moon arising in New Found Harbour......it has been a great day of recovery.
