After a 3 night stay in the hospital Mike came with
home with a walker and began physical therapy.
The walker did not last long but the therapy is ongoing. He is doing great with better mobility and range of motion than he has had in years. And now that the staples are removed his ass looks much better?!?!

Whats up with that dingy?
06/19/2009, San Diego

Yea, I know its been a long time since we updated the blog. Frankly, its just not that interesting here. We are working, buying boat parts and worrying about the economy. In an effort to boost the economy we purchased a new dingy. Our was only about 8 years old which isn't that much but it had some hard use.
With the boat 1300 miles away in Mazatlan we don't have a good place to store the new dingy until we head back down in the Fall. Fortunately we got a 2 bedroom apartment this year so the second bedroom is now the dingy dock. It didn't come with the plant, that was extra.

The boat gets stripped of just about everything! Halyards and sheets come down, get washed and stowed below, along with sails and canvas. And a couple of tarps go up for a little sun protection.

The interior gets cleaned and everything stowed for a long hot summer. And our protector takes his post guarding the Slacker.
