Sailing Dreams: Helping our Friend Pursue His Dream of Sailing After a Major Heart Attack
Episode #158 : Sailing Dreams : A Second Chance
Hello Friends,
This is the first episode in a mini-series we are doing titled “Sailing Dreams” that will follow us to the Pacific Northwest where we help our friend Tim “SIX” rebuild the mast step on his new 1981 Panda 40 “SV Decatur”
Tim suffered a major heart attack in March of 2019 and was dead for 26 minutes. Luckily it happened at work in the Power Plant where he works as a Lead Control Operator and his plants emergency response team refused to give up blasting him with 6 AED’s until they brought him back. He was airlifted to the hospital and underwent surgery.
Tim followed our channel for sometime and became one of our Patrons on Patreon in April of 2019. Five months after his heart attack Tim visited Triteia in Los Angeles and we talked about diving, sailing and dreams.
Fast Forward to April of 2020 and Tim, knowing life could be taken away at a moments notice, found his dream boat in Seattle. It was a 1981 Panda 40 that was stunningly beautiful and had been well cared for except that during the survey the surveyor found the mast step had completely failed and was crushed under the 500lb mast and rigging that had surely been tightened over the years to accommodate for the sinking mast.
This mini series will show you our trip up and what we filmed of me rebuilding the mast step to get Tim sailing and moving forward with his dreams!
