Yes the worst that could happen did the boat was hit by a downdraft sqall follwed by a waterspout. Laid on its side and flooded.

16 years clean and sober. I think my purpose is to be proff of what one man can go through and still remain sober and helping his fellow man.

Didn't post about wreck after all.

A derelict boat that has been in same spot for many years came adrift right after S/V Tranquility said it would! ( coincidence??  Barbarossa:" And it'd strain credulity at that") that old fart thinks the anchorage is his and i wouldn't put much past him. any way we moved ashore soon after. The poor guy lost his boat and I've got a bunch of work i had planned for much later.

Hard Aground!

OK Finally here come the long put off update!
We've "sowlerd yon anchor" as it were and are living ashore since wreck(did i post pics?). ODAT is still afloat but will require major repairs.

We are now living together as a family. working out a lot of kinks because we were Stephen and Dad Vs Mom and Tommy for so long. Still working with Brevard Cares to keep on right track and have a fun and effective case manager. Sorry, cant post a picture or name but she's great! Stephen is still seeing Dr. in Rockledge and is steadily improving. An A student he still seems to think he can go home when he wants, but teachers think otherwise.
Tommy is just amazing now that i have him back! An <I> Intense </> 'LiL monkey hes getting easier to understand and putting sentences together. Ever morning he walks with Mom to school, wednesday and Friday Bubba picks him up dragging me behind on a leash!
Mom is, Well, still Audrey. She has her own story, i wont share it if she doesn't want me to.
Me? I've Barnacles on me legs and arthritis in me bones. As predicted i regained 80% of motion in my left shoulder but only about 60% of strength. Sleeping in this "sleep number" air bed has helped a bunch. It's cool i have a remote control for it even!
Bubba's showing his age but is thrilled to have his own yard to pee in anytime he wants and steadfastly defends it from rouge squirrels.
   Stephen and Mom hard at Work :)
Tommy"s Clean well lit space, he hasn't got back from school yet!
It's called a kitchen not the Galley.
I can has PBJ?
Once a Pirate.....

A Captains bed fer me Midshipman?? 
Tommy's thinking "it's just too clean in here!"
For the captain a bed of air instead of salt soaked foam
