Tim,
Thanks for the updates and great news!!!  We are happy to hear that her progress continues well.  What a treat it would be to also meet Vicki at this years MWG.  I hear Marty and Bob have found a special location.........

An update, Folks!

Vicki has been scheduled or reversal of her Illiostomy on Dec 1st, and if all goes as well as expected after a 3-4 day stay back in the hospital, she will be on the last leg of recovery over this winter.

We have been very graciously invited in a random act of kindness by the staff of the Margaritaville organization to attend the New Years Eve Jimmy Buffet concert in NYC, so we are traveling by train on the 30TH of Dec. & will spend a few days there.

We are looking forward to getting back out on the water very soon thereafter.

Regards, TG

Tim:  This is great news! What sort  of bribe would it take for you to stop in NJ on the way back?

Sounds like great news Tim and Vicki.  Continual progress is the way to go. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers for a full recovery.

Thats great!! Good to hear Vicky will be on her way to final recovery.

I'm sure you both will truly enjoy the concert.
Fitting as well....there will be a few sailing songs thrown in.

Have fun!!

Tim and Vicky,

Glad to hear the situation is improving so dramatically.  We wish you both the best.  Enjoy the Buffet concert! Maybe we'll see you there!

Truly great to hear, hoping for continued progress toward full recovery.  Enjoy the concert.

Good news! I'm happy to report Vicki is out of correcting abdominal surgery tonight, and is resting comfortably (thanks to some medication). The procedure to put things back where they are supposed to be was successful. She was surgery for 3 hrs. & recovery another three. We're keeping fingers crossed that all soon gets back to near normal. Thanks for all the good wishes and answered prayers all y'all have put up for us.

Feels like we've been hove-to for the past three months.  We're both looking forward to a nice leisurely sail in another few.

It's great her plumbing is back in order.  Hope and pray Vicki has a full recovery.  Keep us informed.  See both of you at CLR next year.
