And On It Goes! ! ! ! !

SHIP'S LOG:


     Well, nothing really has happened, aside from shifting ABISHAG to the other side of the yard far away from trees.The rigger who was supposed to come by last Friday didn't make it but supposedly will be by tomorrow to survey the rigging damage if any and propose  price for fixing it. Once we have that, they the total of the coast of repairs can be worked out and hopefully the insurance company will OK it and I can get on with sailing. Truth be told, with the current date, I doubt that even if everything is approved lickity-split that ABISHAG will feel water this year. What with the way things have gone this year, it would be my luck to get her repaired and down to TYC in time for a fall hurricane to sink her.

     On another  repair front, my orthopedic specialist has discovered "shredded tendons" in my left ankle. It  what has been contributing to the osteoarthritis in the ankle as well as the knee. So late this fall, I will have the tendons surgically repaired which entails breaking the bones in the arch and rebuilding it so that the tendons will heal right and not shred again. That will mean at least 6 weeks off the left foot.  And that doesn't even begin to really deal with the left knee nor the right. I don't think I can take anymore fun.
