4 Aug 2019, A Bit of a Road Trip, 41 44.478 N/ 070 38.952 W

We are heading to Atlantic Canada by car instead of boat. Capt. Bob has yet another medical issue, atrial flutter, which we will talk about later. We left on 2 August from Jule III's homeport in Deale Bay at 0900 and headed for Plymouth MA. We (Bob, Ann, and Mattie Kay) had a tough traffic day through all of Connecticut. Still, it only took 10 hours to drive.
Our mission on Saturday was to reacquaint ourselves with Onset and some of the friendly folks there. Our first stop was Point Independence Yacht Club (PIYC) where we spent many days on previous cruises). There we found Barry and Glenn, the dock master, and former assistant dock master. They were so helpful and supportive during Ann's leg operation when we were there on Jule.
We visited many places in Onset, but it is now time to get ready for the next leg to New Brunswick. But wait! Bob's atrial flutter flared up with very high blood pressure. We agreed that this was a show stopper as the flare up could mean some bad things. So we canceled our ferry trips, motels, and airB&B's. The next day we started the return trip. Sad!

12 Aug 2019, Back Home, 38 46.59 N/ 076 33.792 W

Arrived in Shipwright Harbor last week. Heading to ILM to meet up with doctors. Let you know how it goes... Bob had his brain MRI-ed to confirm that had fully healed from an old hemorrage, took blood thinners to minimize clots, had a ablation procedure on his heart, and certified good as new. Ann had an MRI on her back to find the source(s) of pain. She had a series of ablations to minimize the pain. They worked mostly but still some problems. Still working the issue.
