Sheila, how frightening! So glad you’re ok and hopefully, taking it easy. Blame it on the shrimp, but never on the hazy IPA😂

We declare the IPA innocent! Thanks for reading and commenting, Gina.

You told me before you went. Sailing is like siting on an airplane. Sounds a bit different.

So glad you are feel better.

Oh the stories you can tell

Fare winds!

Gosh Shiela , what a scary event. So glad you are ok. Yes, beer is not a very good hydration option . Don’t give up the beer just add a glass of water for every beer. Love how you always get the most out of life. Miss you and when are you coming west to visit us?

Sheila! This was crazy scary. Glad you made it through safely and that you had good people around you. Dehydration is no joke (as I tell my non-hydrating teens daily). Thanks for sharing your adventure, and congrats on your monumental sail!

Congrats on the 1,700 mile sail. And hugs for having survived the ‘mile-high’ event. To quote Maureen O’Hara, “Deep in my soul, I’m a tough Irish woman”. You certainly are that. 🍀

Quite an adventure, both on the seas and in the air. I'm so sorry you experienced this, Sheila, but glad that Sean was there to assist and that you are feeling better now. Take care and here's to more adventures on the seas, but not in the air, unless perhaps it involves the "other" mile-high club -- tee hee! kcm

So glad all is well… but scary while in the middle of it. These medical moments are frightening!
