Here on the coast of Maine, winter came early, I've been reminiscing about our summer cruise around Penobscot bay and points east. The pic below was taken the second morning in Buckle Harbor after an anchor drag incident, no damage done but lots more kelp around than I ever remember seeing,

This was breakfast one of the mornings, yum!

We lived in Maine for a time. Our home was in Surry, just up Blue Hill Bay from Buckle. Went there frequently. Other than the beauty and peace of the cove, 2 memories stand out.
1. My dropping one of my wife's best china dinner plates over the side. Non-recoverable.
2. One time we came upon a baby seal on the beach waiting for mommy to bring dinner.
Wonderful cove, wonderful memories.

Best Wishes, Kermie....

The Admiral and I are going to where "the weather suits our clothes". Got an invite to join friends in Puerto Rico. Flying out Saturday. I figure I might SEE a sailboat being used next week.

We’re racing in the GBCA Chili Chase Regatta on Saturday, 12/1 on Galveston Bay. Sunny, 76 degrees, 10 knot west wind forecast.
Then, GBCA Icicle Races every Saturday in January. Will probably need crew for some of the icicle races if any SBO Galveston Bay sailors want to race with us.

That is a wide range of conditions you sailed in!

Jodi and I are moving this weekend. Tomorrow actually. After renting a condo in a ‘resort style’ building for 2 years, we’re ready to own again. But we loved not having chores. So we bought a townhouse with an association that does everything, and heated underground parking in a garage right under out place. I hate moving but am SO looking forward to being there.

Thanks. I’m planning on things being better all around. Oddly enough, none of my pains hurt nearly as bad while on the boat. I’m being serious about that. I don’t know why but messing around on a sailboat doesn’t hurt as much as cutting food with a fork. Or putting my belt on. Or tying my necktie. Or any other seemingly-simple task.

I hope that shiny new shoulder makes your life better!

One year ago today I had some aftermarket parts installed on my right collarbone. Not the same as what I think you are having done but my best advice from that and from an earlier injury that causes my shoulder to not stay in its socket all the time is to be diligent with your recovery and physical therapy. Stay true to that and listen to your PT and you will be back to your old self sooner than you think.

Good luck and keep us informed on how it's going.

Thanks for the encouragement. Several people have told me that about therapy. It’s gonna be tough to keep up with but dangit I’m gonna do my best. The only thing scarier than having the surgery is NOT having the surgery.

Keeps it interesting!
The races run on schedule rain or shine and whether it's blowing 0 or 25 knots. And there are races year round on Galveston Bay. I tried to show all the conditions crew might see, I send this video to potential crew. I keep updating it whenever I get some clips worth editing into it. We'll see if I get any good action video in tomorrow's race to add in.

A friend with a broken right collar bone said the worst part of it all was learnng to use toilet paper with his left hand. I relayed that to my mom before rotator surgery. I forward it to Kermit , so start that "therapy" NOW!

Ahem. I’ve already been thinking about that. Life could get very interesting. And I guess I’ll have to type responses to the forum with that very same left hand. What’s that old saying? “One hand washes the other.”

The hardest for me was using a computer mouse with my left hand (I was back at work two weeks after surgery) but I'm left handed so most other stuff came pretty easy. When I was 13 I broke my left collarbone and it was different to write with my arm in a sling but I adapted-no computer mouse in the mid 80's!
