Back Home...

Dear Friends  - It is quite a disappointment to be home after two months of preparing for our trip south, however our primary concern is the health of our family member Pixie.  We couldn't expect Pixie to be as comfortable on the boat as at home and it took a short trip for both Sue and I to realize the magnitude of Pixie's needs.

Almost everything from Jubilee to go HOME

After arriving home we called the Oncology Vet to find out why Pixie's radiation wounds were not healing as we expected.  We visited them in West Chester yesterday (Oct23) and received more medication and were given a topical spray to moisten her cheek twice a day.  They wanted Pixie to wear her collar all the time and this would never work on the boat.

Also, the refrigeration system wasn't performing as expected and not nearly as well as it had during our Bahamas trip years ago.  This needed to be updated and more $$$$/time to be invested.
Most of the other systems on the boat were Ok and we needed them to get back in some of the heavy winds we've encountered.

Sue and I will be adding family photos and Pixie's recovery info as it happens, so do keep checking back now and then for those updates.
