Happy New Year RD!!
Thinking of you lots and wishing you a year of healing.
I loved seeing those pics of Florence. That is still my favorite trip of all time - so many great memories and good laughs.

May you grow stronger each day in this new year as the cancer gets weaker
b/c we agree with you, cancer must die!

RD: Some positive healing energy set you way on December 30 (from White Rock Beach) where three WTOY logos took to the water (6.7, 6.0, 5.2) – a few pictures shown below of them enjoying their time in the sun.

That wasn't me sailing :D

Thank you David! BTW here is a reminder of what we are going to do on 7th.

It looks like the time to get together for the ruffle draw is here! We were thinking about making the draw on January 7th, which is Orthodox Christmas. We have some options to do that:
  • get together in a bar ( Christies or Canoe club ) at around 6ish and do it there. That be nice.
  • get together on the beach ( IV for instance ) during the day and do it there. Least favorite of mine.
  • do not get together and let BWD to do the draw by himself. I hate that one.
What dou you guys think? Please let me know by the end of tomorrow.

Cheers

A.

Some more words of support from the messageboard:

Arturo: - ...Andre I have been thinking about you and maybe if you have a chance should hop a plane to La Ventana. The sun shines a lot and the wind blows just enough to keep even the most hard case wind junkies happy and the landscape is like another planet. Matter of fact I think that all members of Bigwave Dave should charter a plane and get your asses down here including you Kus. - Saturday January 14, 9:47PM

RD:
I hope that now that we have the shortest day of the year behind us,
that you now also have the darkest part of your healing journey behind you,
and that with each day now growing a little longer and a little brighter,
so you also feel a little stronger day-by-day.
Happy New Year! :D
