Sway just likes him because Tim will stand and man the helm while Sway retreats to the cabin when it is raining...

Lunch is when you want it, how you want it, and you've just got to figure that he's the kind of guy whom, were he a charter boat captain, all the other guys would resent for his repeat business. Tim is so solicitous of his guests that he spends most of his time apologizing for the lack of wind, as if he's supposed to control that also!
Go ahead and accuse me of blowing sunshine up his ass but that's the way he is, a true gentleman and a sailor. I trust him implicitly and am tickled pink that we just happened to meet. But then, I don't believe in coincidences any more. And I'm darn glad it is he and Julie who have been so close, and so willing, to Chicago these last few months. There just isn't anybody I know who could have expressed in person so well what we AFOC's have all been feeling these past few months.
He sails in the rain, too! My kind of guy.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

This seems to be the only way I can get through to you. I have been going on and keeping track through your blogs. I decided to become a member so I could send you a message and when that didn't work so here's the next best thing. I hope you got the flowers we sent. I wanted to do more but times are hard right now. I just wanted to let you know you and your family are in our prayers.....The girls and I feel like we're part of your family and we want you to know we are here for you guys and we think about you everyday. I've tried calling your cellphone, I guess you just don't want to talk right now. I understand. Well I have "to get back to work now" Whatever that is. Take it easy.
hi melinda and crew....mike and i love you guys.....the flowers were beautuful,,the vase is on our rememberance shelf for courtney....maybe we all need a good evening sail on the hudson....
oh..and for all the lasagna and sausage and peppers were a joint thing.....:
The constant friendships and meetings that take place though this site will never cease to amaze me - across towns, bays, cities, countries and even oceans (props to you Giu). I am honestly proud to be a member of this fine group. Tim - you are a great person for all you have done reaching out to a fellow member at such a difficult time.
Truly a great community here, an not only in the 'virtual' sense. BF's hosting of Simon, Alex hosting of many (I lost count), Tim's awesome work recently.
Faith in humanity: restoring..........
Good on all of you!
