Our neighbor at the marina is Jim who lives on a boat he has been fixing up during all the time we have been at the marina. He's very quiet, but nice and always asks about our plans and offers to catch or hold a rope as we pull in or out of the slip.
When we saw Jim this trip, we both thought he looked different. It turns out he has lung cancer which has spread and now he also has a brain tumour. Although he was up and about when we first got there, he was taken to the hospital a few days ago. Jim won't be finishing his boat or going sailing.
He and Steve had a chat one afternoon while Steve was working on our boat. He asked about our plans and what Steve was doing. His message, 'Forget all that stuff and get out there.' I think we'll pay attention...
