I'm genuinely sorry to hear about your health issues, and that it has led to this decision, but having read your blog for a while I know it is a decision you'll have thought carefully about. I can't help but hope, though, that in time you'll be able to reverse it.<br /><br />That said, I (like Damianhttp://thefinalbeat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018205427973265951.post-56068520776812850742015-02-22T12:43:29.258-08:002015-02-22T12:43:29.258-08:00That's a good offer.

My progress toward recovery of strength has slow enough to make me think my decision to sell and not sail is the right one. But I am coming back somewhat. So maybe . . . . Who knows?
