Disappointing News/Medical Glitch

While in Ocean Springs, MS, we found out that Jan's cancer had returned and she developed another tumor. So on April 1st we turned the boat West and headed for Clear Lake, Texas. Our dear friend, James Pierson, had joined us for the sail. It was an easy ride back and on April 7th we arrived at the Blue Dolphin Marina in Seabrook.

We will stay here for as long as it takes for Jan to receive chemo, surgery and recover; she's being treated at MD Anderson. We are determined to head east again at the first possible moment and continue our gunk holing.


The Mississippi was up 14.5' and running about 5 knots so we thought it best to travel the Algiers Locks on the return trip. Here we are locked in with two barges and a light tow with James manning the bow.
