Comments for Nicky Sails for Black Dog http://nickysailsforblackdog.com A Sydney housewife with zero sailing experience takes on the high seas to raise funds for the Black Dog Institute Thu, 27 May 2010 20:51:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Follow Me by Alastair Henry http://nickysailsforblackdog.com/followme/#comment-202 Thu, 27 May 2010 20:51:39 +0000 http://nickysailsforblackdog.com/?page_id=1136#comment-202 Hi Nicky.
We met at Great Huts in Boston Bay, Jamaica.
What a wonderful surprise to get the bag with hats and the shirt you left for me. You had already left when Suzette gave me the bag. Thank you. That was very thoughtful of you and your generosity will live on when I gift the hats and shirt,

We both enjoyed meeting you, Thomas and Libby. I’m sure your stay at the Great Huts was most relaxing and very enjoyable after the hardships you endured out on the briny. And I’m sure that all of your family are both pleased and much relieved that your leg of the race is over and you are safe and sound.

Just read your blog. Wow -what an amazing one of a kind adventure -really tests your metal – and so well written too. As Candas and I said, we have some interest in the 2012 race and will give it serious thought over the next 6 months. Your blog is the first literature we have read about the race.

We returned to Kingston on Tuesday, one day later than planned to allow the civil unrest situation to abate. Things seem to be normal again and we plan to return to work tomorrow.

Thanks again Nicky for your kindness and thoughtfulness and best wishes for good health and much joy in the future.
Alastair

By the way in the USA from 6th to 12th May inclusive all nurses were give a free Cinnabon for “Nurses’ Week” – a wee bit of Trivia.
Hope you made everyone jealous whilst you were eating in the morning.

A number of Carol’s sailing friends have been following your trip/travails with fascination.
Hope you get your land legs back quickly.
Congratulations.

A great choice for you Nicki. The emails are really neat to read and I learned a lot about the Panama Canal.
Congradulatins on the second place winning which is an honor.
Did you get burned? How could you wear a hat with the wind?
How are the sea legs and did land feel strange when you walked off the boat. Did you ever get sea sick?
I’m glad the waves felt warm for you. cold water is not good.
oxox,
shelia
