Sorry for the late posting. I never saw this thread and was surfing and went to Johnny's Blog and discovered that he passed away back in July. Thanks you LaGringa for the link!
Rest in peace Johnny! You fought bravely!
Best wishes to help Johnny's family get on with thier lives!
This is a wake up call to get yourself checked out.
"I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except that I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and the ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins, the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean and therefore, we have salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears. We are tied to the ocean.
And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came."
