An interesting week

15 February 2014 | Exuma Land and Sea Park
Well.... Things were going great until I (Graham) went down with acute sciatica. Apart from being very painful, this is more than a little inconvenient when you have a sailboat to operate. We spent a couple of days in a marina wondering what to do next and came close to flying home but I talked to a physical therapist who happened to be staying there then called the invaluable Jerry Hyman for advice. I now have a set of exercises to do and we will try and work through it for a while. We have moved to a mooring in lovely spot in the Exuma Park so there are worse places to recuperate - if indeed I do recuperate.
I am very conscious that I have family members wrestling with real medical issues at the moment and this does not really amount to much but being partially disabled on a sailboat thousands of miles from home is certainly an interesting experience.
