Cadenza is up for sale

Hello All,
It's been a long time since I got on this site. Winter in PA was cold and long. I don't want another winter in PA. But I will live with what is dealt to me.

We do have Cadenza up for sale. Ken is sad but we are both excited about the new MaineCat which we have named LightSpeed.

I've run into a few heart problems that came up while on a cruise celebrating George Brody's 90th birthday (he's my father-in-law).

Five us were out snorkeling when I started having problems breathing and a racing heart. Water was a bit choppy and I started swallowing water. I tried to rest a bit but that put me behind the others. Because there was a woman close to my size and coloring my group thought I was right with them. I ended up having to be rescued and spent 20 hours in ICU on the ship. The vacation went downhill from there. They charged us more than $5,000 for the time in the ICU and expected us to pay it before we got off the ship. They wouldn't accept their own insurance which we had purchased for the trip.

It's been a rough time, but the latest prognosis is good! Meds, and other treatments are all being checked out. But the good news is I am finally feeling better and more energetic! Woohoo!

Hopefully I'll be reporting soon that Cadenza is sold and the new boat is on the way.
