Re: sasto needs our prayers

I'm very happy to hear about your success and hope you feel better soon from the treatment............. I will continue to drink a toast to your health, almost nightly though I'm sure you know you were not the first or the last to hide a serious condition from loved ones either, the last go round, so I would'nt worry about that. Clear skies and soft winds to you Sasto

Thanks mommicked. Clear skies and soft winds today. Prepairing for a big storm after the weekend.

The family (Coop and iboats) is glad to hear you're doing well.

I'll bet you are as glad as I am. Thanks for the thoughts, my friend.

Re: sasto needs our prayers

Hey there, just wanted to give a shout out to Sasto, and wanted him To know because of his thread on his penn yan boat that was handed down to him, it started me on a journey to me getting my own penn yan avenger. The story of his was great and I followed his resto of the boat which inspired me to really look at the penn yan avenger model for me. I boat in Delaware and the Indian river bay and rehoboth bay are shallow and full of shoals and sand bars. And a PY is the perfect boat for that area with its shallow draft. My favorite pic in his threads is of sasto sitting on the back of his PY fishing with his blue hat on.
I also followed his posts on the pennyanbbs.com forums. He has definitely made an impression on me with his willingness to share his insight and experience to help fellow boaters.
So I tip my hat to the captain.
Glad to hear all is well and you spirit and determination in the face of your recent dilemma, only reinforces what we all know, you one cool cucumber!

Re: sasto needs our prayers

One of our members "sasto" needs our prayers. I am friends with him on Facebook as well as real life. He posted today that a serious medical condition may hinder a new job he just got. I had to send him a pm on Facebook and ask, he replied back that his brain tumor had came back, he has a positive attitude about it but it can't hurt for a few thoughts and prayers from here. I know he would appreciate it. He was just getting over that when he first joined here and I truly hope that they have found it and get to work treating it quickly so he can go on, they did it once so they can do it again.

May God's will for you and your family be filled with Love and many years of sailing! Bless you Sasto!

Geeee thanks, jhudds. I'm really enjoying the ol Yanner. She fits my inshore needs perfectly. The blue hat? That was given to me by an iboat member, veritas honus. I treasure it. I appreciate the kind and encouraging words.

May God's will for you and your family be filled with Love and many years of sailing! Bless you Sasto!

It will, palace. Even though I've been through some tough times, like many of us, I am truely blessed. I accept your blessing and am sending one back at you.

Re: sasto needs our prayers

Hi sasto,

You don't know me from Adam, but I know of you from your posts on the forum...

You are one of the most helpful guys and really know your stuff when it comes to all this boating voodoo...

I just found out about your battles with cancer...I read that you beat it back once before, and it seems like you are bashing the heck out of it again...

I can certainly agree with you that sharing this rough time with those that care and love you is much better than trying to be brave and keep quiet about it...the support of those who are in your corner is a priceless source of strength...

A lot of folks don't realize the power that comes from Above in the form of prayer, whether you believe in it or not, it is a definite force to be reckoned with...

As far as I am concerned, it is the most powerful weapon we have against the things in life that we have little or no control over and are trying to overwhelm us...

So, from down here, just a bit South of you...our prayers and thoughts are with you...Godspeed your 100% recovery

Just another fellow Iboater wishing you a full and complete defeat over the "C"...

Thanks my brother. I do cherish that hat, it is special to me, from a special friend. I am looking foreward to our next meeting as well.

Very touching, GT. I appreciate the nice things you had to say....from my heart! Yes, there is a force to be reconed with. I thank you very much for thinking about me.

Get well soon. Thoughts and praters from Iowa.

Thanks Herrod.....anything from Iowa has got to be good!

I have shared this thread with my family and friends who are not iboaters. Even though I am surrounded by some hard core people, some boaters, some not so much, I noticed some teary eyes and cracked up voices. It says alot about this group we have here. I've said it before and I will say it again.....I thank each and every one of you! The moderators we have have kept this place clean and family oriented, I thank them for that.

One of these days I may just jump in a motorhome and thank everyone personally. I can't explain how much all of you have meant to me. I wish they had an icon of a happy tear.

Re: sasto needs our prayers

How are you feeling this week Skipper? Really love your moxy. Keeping a positive attitude through this is so important. My FIL went through radiation treatments when he lived with us, so I know to some extent what your going through. You'll be happy to know it knocked back his cancer. It was his positive attitude and many friends that got him through the rough stuff. I personally have lost many friends and close relatives to cancer so it is good to hear that you appear to be winning the fight. Soon I will have to go to the surgeon and get more skin cancer spots removed. Each time I pray everything is benign. You give me hope and inspiration.

They that go down to the sea in ships
And ocupy their business in great waters
These men see the works of the Lord
And his wonders in the deep

I would like to someday, Art. I can't seem to get off the island. My Sister and Brother In Law moved here last week. They are keeping me busy...and work is picking up for all of us. Thanks for the prayers, my friend.

I can feel it!!! Marco. I am doing very well. I'm about physically back to normal. Plenty of work to be done and getting in alot of bike riding and hiking in.

Kenmyfamily and all the entourage are still with you my friend.

Thanks Ken, The powers to be got me through this and other matters rather quickly.

Anyone know how he's doin I hope your chillin and enjoying another beautifull Florida sunset tonight Sasto .

I be chillin', mommicked. During the last full moon I had the police called on me for absolutely no reason at all...LOL. I enjoyed a good walk on the beach with a special friend.

Always glad to hear good news, Jeep Man. I am sorry for your losses. I've lost both my parents to the "C" word. Cool little poem you have there. I'm going to have to steal it!

Again thanks to you all! Nice to hear your voice, Nolan.
