Hi Luis,

I hope you stay on the list as well.

Are you a candidate for knee replacements?  I had my right knee replaced in November, 2021.  Although the physical therapy afterwards was pretty brutal, I’m doing well now.  In fact, I’m going to have my left knee replaced on March, 21, 2022.  If all goes well, I should be good to go by mid May.  That includes sailing and I certainly don’t plan to sell my Rhodes 22.

Chris,

I’ll stay on the list. Who knows, I’m hoping that my knees are fixable, and that I could buy another one later.
