Getting towards "Glass-off-Time" so it was cool!
We are currently cruising our Islander Freeport 36 sailboat in Mexico. We have been extensively documenting our outfitting for this adventure. Also, what works and what is not of value.

The day we left our house sit in Chatsworth, California we stopped by my surgeon's (Dr Hernandez) office and saw Phu Phan (his Physician’s assistant) who checked out my hip. I was ready to suck it up for staple removal but when he removed the bandage he said they would just melt away, the stitches...no staples. Everything is good and now I can be done with the sponge baths! It is now just a matter of time till I am back to walking normally!
Got this done at the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. This is supported by the VA (Veterans Affairs ) "Choice Program".

Cali Cuts
While we were in Chatsworth ,California I got my new hip (major surgery) and did my post-op and got a clip at Cali Cuts! What 18 days in Chatsworth can do for a body!
Hip post-op walk, or limp around - 2016
Middle of August 2016 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlán, Mexico
Here it is - the infamous “post-op walk”. Yes, I am limping but that is because my right leg still hurts, not because it is short. Besides, I may be trained to limp after 3 years needing a hip replacement.
Hip surgery: Done-got the darn hip! - 2016

They had me up and walking several hours after the actual surgery.

Honda 9.9 hp outboard impeller change video
End of August 2016 - Tied up in Marina Mazatlan, Mexico
Here is another video on our Honda 9.9 hp outboard engine.
We try to keep all our maintance information on the blog for later use. We also keep it on a hard drive so we have a couple of places to access it. We have never replaced the impeller yet and a hoping to purchase a kit and some more spare spark plus soon. We will replace the spark plugs this winter before we set out cruising..
