A bit about the weather, a solo sailor, ships and… a touch of pneumonia…
Well, I’m back, at least mostly upright – after a supposedly mild (it didn’t feel very mild to me) bout of pneumonia!
I was flat out on the couch last week, but I’m glad to be back, though I’m moving slowly. Looking forward to reclaiming my energy in the coming weeks.
Today we’ll talk a bit about the weather offshore locally, about a solo sailor out there braving it, and a look at some ships.
Stay healthy!
