UPDATE ON bUBB2 AND S/V BUBBA2.

We, My son and I have just completed our spring launch. We brought the boat the 15 miles down river (Hudson) from where we keep her for the winter. All went well. my son was a great help and I could not have done it with out him.

The update for me, I am about at 50% pre heart failure. I been walking and trying to stay as active as I can. It doesn't not take long for my legs to feel like they weight 500 pounds each. I am not nearly as strong as I was Pre-Heart pump. One Dr said to me It will take a month to recover for every week I was unconscious and bed ridden. I was down for the count for nearly 3 weeks. I only been home for 2 weeks. I have ways to go to get back to the 75% to 80% where I expect to be at when I fully recovered. I will never be 100% again.

Right now I can not sail alone. I just don't have the strength. It would be unsafe.

If anyone wants to go sailing, please let me know. any time weekday or weekend. I am not working anymore.

I have the time and the boat. This would be 25 miles north of New York City. Tarrytown, NY. The Marina is just off the Hudson line and the Tarrytown train station.

Lets go sailing!

Bubb.

Glad to hear that you are on the mend. It will take time, dedication and supporting love to get to where you want to be... and I think you've got the love and dedication in abundance, now just be patient and take the time.

Best wishes Capt.

Thanks for stopping in over here and giving us an update Mike. It's good to hear you're improving, however slowly.

Praying for your recovery.

It's great that you haven't given up sailing.

Tell us more about yourself. How long have you been sailing and what kind of boat you have.

Hang in there, Bubb. I wish I were up your way to use your boat and drink your beer.

Mike, give Michael a big fist bump for me and the boys. You've got a great son there.

Keep doing what you're supposed to be doing medical-wise. And enjoy every single minute with your family.

I'll try to come crew for you again as soon as I can. I need some more lessons...and beers. I miss you guys.
