Thanks for the heads up, Aurora. I couldn't get in because I don't have an account there. I hope and pray that Coastie is ok and he'll be out and about in no time. I'll keep on sending prayers and good thoughts his way.

Have a good weekend.

Oh coastie!

I so hope your heart can see you through it this time around.

It's been an ongoing battle for quite some time now.

I just pray they can bring you back to us.

It might sound selfish but, I think all of us would rather see you
here than in a Hospital bed.

I will pray for a quick and sound recovery.

I saw that as well. I am hoping she is over-reacting again, as she was when she claimed he was dead.

Me too, Flashie. I agree with you and I don't mind sounding selfish - I hope that the Drs can restore his good health and he can come back and hang out here with us.

God bless you, Coastie! You're in our hearts and prayers.

Yeah, it's hard to separate fact from fiction on his FB page. Coastie is a tough guy, he's been posting on here while in the midst of a heart attack before. My thoughts and prayers are with him for a quick and thorough recovery. The forums aren't the same without Coastie. :(

My thoughts and prayers are with Coastie. As a fellow sailor, we have that link that places us in sync. Get well and return to the forums.

I'm at work and can't click the link.
Sad news from your posts.
I agree with you all about our friend.

Coastie, we care and hope the best for you.

I have not been on for a while as busy with other events and Coastie seemed to be handling the reports with his usual aplomb, Smax013 sent me a message and I checked Charlies page and am very concerned. I am hoping for the best. He has been a fighter in the past and hoping he still has it in him.

That is a welcome relief for all of us! I know I am excited to hear that he is recovering.
