The Peconic Puffin

A blog about a group of windsurfers and other water sports enthusiasts, and their friends. Established 1993.

Michael in hospitalI tried to take a selfie but all the rigging kept my arms from getting the extension necessary.  Had some issues in the nose (stringer needed work, also some delamination here and there.  Scott said "Hey I do that kind of work…I coulda saved you a few bucks!")   In the two weeks before the procedure the doctor told me to mix up some salt water in a glass and snort it up each nostril because "it will help clear your head".  I then explained the length, depth, and g forces I've applied to such endeavors in the past, and that I was well aware of the benefits.   Doc approved.

On Monday I find out when I can get back on the water.  I'm hoping I haven't seen the last of the 2014 season!

    Michael,
    You never clarified why your right arm was unavailable? My version of Gray”s Anatomy does not show a direct connection between the right arm and the proboscis???

    the IV and various biomeasurement devices were a bit of a snake’s nest. Tugging on a needle in the hand no feel good!
