bad news for cpkayak

i have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder, no pain but no strength either. not sure how i got it it but the candidates are kayaking, weightlifting and throwing the football.  i will schedule surgery soon, after that the doc says 3months no kayaking-ouch!  that might be in time for linda mar salmon and it will be in time for stripers in autumn.

Bummer Chris, how is the PB situation going?

the boat is currently being repaired, i suspect an amicable settlement is imminent. now i need electronics, another 2-4 week delay. next i envision myself in a cast or a sling driving my friends around while they catch fish, more ouch! but dreaming of that first kayak albacore keeps me happy.

Gald to hear that is working out at least. Sounds like you are becoming a fishing guide!  

bad news: we don't get to fish with you for a while  

good news: the stripers in the Bay feel safer now  

Heal fast my friend  

i know how you feel i am half way done with my radiation or as i call it zapping me  hopefully i will be ready for salmon opener or another trip to san luise forbay. what bummer to hear about your shoulder, get a good surgen and pt days will fly by. albacore on kayak sounds  great. plus we still need to hook up. hello to all to all tight lines. chef/ steve

Get yourself a Hobie and you'll still be able to fish or maybe a kind soul could "rent" or lend you one for the derby.

Anyway, hope you get better. Might just have to enter that Striper pool  

Does ChuckE still have his Hobie?

Hmmm... if CP is in the striper pool, he's got a good chance at winning.
  So... if he's willing to split the prize for fishing my Hobie.... well, maybe we can work something out

Take care of yourself.  If you get desperate I'll paddle you around in a tandem!

weightlifting  

That 12 oz curl can be a real killer.........

i do reps with a 40 oz! yes i am in the striper pool, but i still have a good chance to compete for that prize, i find bigger fish in the fall, i should be healed by then.

Chris,
Get surgery asap.  When the bite is on, you'll be miraculously healed in 8 weeks!!!
