I had a friend that had to wait so long for an MRI and surgery that the damage could not be repaired. :eek: I will not allow that to happen to me.:D

Congratulations Bob, you have your very own offshore record. Not many people can say that. Take care of your shoulder, my dad swears by the Cleveland Clinic and he's a doctor. Ian

I will not be held responsible.:D

Sorry Bob but I just couldn't pass up the deal on that new Mexican built VW Beetle. My cards were maxed out. I was going to pay you back.

Yeah I got all nostalgic when I saw them there.

BTW since I just can't enough. I'm boating back to KW from Ft. Myers tomorrow for my "25th" birthday. After the 1035 miles in the last week it will seem like a walk in the park.

Maybe NT should just go ahead and get a slip at the marina down there... :drink:

It was a blast even tho there was a lot of tough going today again. Huge rollers and we were constantly changing the setup to keep the boat happy and then wham, a big un would hit us and we would drop down into a big hole. Over 8 hrs of that. Terry drove 80% of the time and did a great job of it. I had a fall when getting off the boat at Isla Mujures yesterday morning before we made that attempt. We had to turn back because of even bigger seas which we might have tackled had it not been for my injuries. I fell between the dock and the boat and would have been better to just fall in the water. My natural instincts kicked in tho and I grabbed the boat with my right arm and the dock with my left. I have torn ligaments and/or muscles in my right shoulder, cuts and scrapes to my right ankle, tore a nail of a toe on my left foot and banged up my left knee enough to have me limping along. When we came back in yesterday I decided best to see a doc at the Navy Hospital in Isla Mujures. Too funny. I will post pics when I eventually get time. No one spoke English and I do not speak Spanish. I had the lady doctor and nurse laughing so much. The bill was $27.00 and they worked on me for an hour including a shot which I told them was probably heroin and a wrap around my entire upper body to completely immobilize my throttle arm.
Would I do a project like this again ? You bet. In a heartbeat. But I think I will have a little recovery time first.
I will post more in the days ahead as I have time but for now, I think I will get some rest.
Thank you all who followed us along.:D
Bob

Sorry to hear about yer fall, and injuries, your right it is natural instinct to grab the boat, and Dock. I did the same thing first time I took the Pantera out, but of course i had a few drinks, and it is a little different being sandwiched by a 50 footer:eek:.
