[Rhodes22-list] The Ship

[Wally Buck]

Rummy,

He had a blood clot in his lung; Pulmonary Embolism I think. It may have 
become problematic after flying in for the show and it wound up becoming 
quite serious. The ship’s doc was pretty smart, she used a satellite phone 
to call England to confirm diagnosis. They wound up having the guy airlifted 
out. She saved the guys life really, my brother in-law died at 36 of the 
same thing. The doc also tried to glue a fake tooth that came loose but was 
unsuccessful. You will see the guy with one of his front teeth missing the 
remainder of the show. She also had to give a guy stitches who cut his foot 
open playing the “Rope Game”. The First Mate lists a rope and three people 
race to be the first one to touch it, tackling was permitted. Wouldn't be 
much of a race on a Rhodes 22. :-)

Wally
