Somebody must have been watching you and your boat for a while. You ferried all of your goodies to the boat and left and they said the store is open let's go shopping. Probably the most disheartening thing that can happen without a physical attack.
kinda got me a lil bloo--hard to get into getting ready fro leaving whn the stuff i am trying to installisnt here. kinda boggled up the refit a tad-- was almost done--now i am up in the air for a bit. bubby is sniffing allthe places we had stuff stashed-- he knows who was the invader and he is trying to tell me.

If you find the !@#$%^&*() see how much chain he can swim with.

None right now Cruiser Don't have on yet
Keep an eye out for your stuff around the marina, or the docks, somebody is gonna want to install some of this stuff sometime, when they do they either took it or bought it, so you could still backtrack the thief. Take bubba with you walking the docks and let him lead the way.

Sorry to hear

Zee, sorry to hear about this. I can relate. I get angry just thinking about it.

Reading through these responses, it is awesome to see the outpouring of offers to help. What a great bunch of people.

Hang on to your dream - make it happen - and keep us all updated on your progress.

Zee,
Seldom do most of us have a gear loss/theft that goes beyond the usual insurance deductible, but it sure sounds like you do now! :(
Make a list with replacement value and get your claim in. Sounds like you will be way over the usual $500. or $1000. deductible.
That's what the ins. is for! Don't be shy.
Just attach a copy of the police report....

Regards,
LB

One Other Thing...

Send a list and description of the stolen items to Minney's and any other local used marine parts stores. They have to convert the stuff to cash somehow, and those stores would be the fastest route.

In addition to what we're already doing (thanks to Phil and his gift giving thread via sbo.com), perhaps we could apply Ross' #42 comment: if a whole bunch of us go to San Diego, I'll bet we could find this villain and start by reading him his rights:

"You have the right to remain silent..."

I always needed a reason to sail from here to San Diego.

:wow:

How can a person not able to work and collecting SSDI manage to live on and operate a sailboat underway?

there are many types of disabilities, my friend. some are more obvious and debilitating than others. many are hidden, physiologically speaking--i am not including the psychological debilitators, as that is not appropriate in this case. research the approved list of disabilities. i think you will find many are not obvious to the naked eye, yet are quite the mayhem.

Amen!. Kidney disease for one, which I am facing myself. Google Fabry disease and see what a wonderful time of it all those aflicted in my family including myself go through. Can't tell by looking at me I could hide it from you as I have from employers since I was 16yrs old. Now 47 with an average of 3rys left to live according to stats I have filed myself.

I fought the guilt of taking a govt handout long enough. Then again the govt pisses my tax dollars away on so many worse things. I fiqure I deserve a little retirement before I go, some extra time with my beloved wife. I hope also to be active as much as possible under the restraints of the disease. Dont know for a fact but seems cruise type sailing has a good amount of down time on ones butt so as to rest up for the real pressure cooker stuff. Good luck Zee.

thankyou.. if youhave paidinto the fica system, there is no dole involved--you earned that money. that part i had ok. was the loss of function of things i can definitely6 use in daily life i am dealing with also, as are you. some of this i was unconsciously able to plan for as i developed-- from age 7. i now understand why it was/is that folks who suffer reynaud's disease were not allowed to attend nursing school. kind of. i had way too much fun in my career to even consider having done something else ever for a carer path.
reynauds has a genetic link that was unknown in my early nursing days and years. i didnt know i had it until i was diagnosed at age 48 with is as i was working with anesthesiologists who noticed i had no color--even beyond neon. there are many many many disabilities not able to be seen by the eyes. they dont cause inability to handle a sailboat, necessarily. there is an education factor missing in htis nation as regards handicaps and such in our society. we ignored them for soo long , we have problems accepting them now.
as my reynauds progressed, i have been able to control the amount of stress and stressors i encounter and endure--then when i am at my peak of tolerance, i isolate. in cold weather i notice my body temp is much lower than in warm climes. i am down to 96.5F in winter. is bad. in warmer weather i have found i can achieve 97.2F. i need to relocate to warmer climate zone so i can be able to maintain optimal function and minimal pain. when blood does not flow properly, those areas missing the flow dont have pleasant feelings coming forth. they make pain--is called ischemia. can happen anywhere in the body at any time of increased stress. stress not being merely intruders into home--is temperature and climatic conditions, sunburn, anything. i have become very able to discern approaching stressors in weather and in other physical conditions-- is more difficult to limit the psychological and emotional stressors--i avoid as many as possible. sailing is awesome good medicine.

Zee as you have described so well, those with chronic diseases suffer not only from the disease symptoms but others such as depression and anxieties. Living symtomatic for decades can destroy a person from inside out. It is a slow errosion of no hope for better days ahead that can challenge the strongest of wills. I know Im about as stubborn an SOB you will find anywhere at times and just the thought of leaving my wife a widow reduces me to jello. God bless you in your battles and may he be there when your in need.

thankyou jimmy..i kinda hope i am able to help others in their awakening to this-- there are many who have lesser symptoms than mine who have harder times because of circumstances and whatever reason..
i hope he is , too, as i have managed to remain solo effectively for long time now..thankyou i think is prolly scarier to face with a companion who may be left behind. hadnt thought about that one..

Gov't. handout?

If you look back in history, every decent society made provisions for those unable to function, as long as that society could afford to do so. I read about some skeleton found in the Swiss alps of a primitive man of thousands of years ago. They showed that this person had had a broken hip and other broken bones from an earlier age and that his injuries were so debilitating that there is no way he could have functioned and survived without the help of the rest of his clan. Yet he did for quite a few years.

That's the human way. In our society, there is no provision made for families to take care of the weakest ones, so, yes, it should be organized care by society as a whole.

Jimmyb: You have not the slightest reason to feel guilty. As human beings, we all owe it to you to help if we can afford it... and we most certainly can.
