The skipper, rebounding his way to health!

2016 on Moontide

This year has been series of surprises for us on Moontide. Probably the most dramatic has been the discovery that the captain developed lung cancer. No doubt, all the toxic fumes he's inhaled over the last several decades while boat building has not helped his cause.
In any event, with generous help from friends, relatives, and his intrepid better half, we are taking steps to eradicate this dis-ease from our lives. 

In the mean time...

We continue our life on Moontide, following a rigorous regimen of healthy all-natural foods, enzymes and supplements as part of the Gerson Cancer Therapy.
Although vilified by allopathic medicine as 'quackery,' Gerson has had remarkable success at curing people with melanoma. 

Our Projects also go on...

Before the top was installed, shelves were built into the storage area beneath the sink , then a solid top was placed and covered with Italian tile.
