arrangements directly, and they
authorized me to pay for local
transportation between the
Colombian islands (one of the
puddle-jumper pilots would only
take cash). I kept the tickets and
all the receipts, and a few weeks
after we were back in Canada we
submitted our receipts to DAN for
all the items we had paid out of
pocket. These were all subsequently
reimbursed by DAN.
The doctors in Providencia
and San Andrés as well as the
neurologist in Canada all confirmed
the hit Lynn took to her head
could easily have killed her at the
time. Nine months later, I am now
back aboard Homers’ Odyssey in
Rio Dulce, Guatemala, and happy
to report Lynn will be joining me
in a few weeks for some sailing in
Belize and Honduras. We received
clearance from our Canadian
neurologist back in July, following
an MRI, that she was fit to resume
normal activity including driving
and traveling. We would both like
to take this opportunity to thank
DAN’s staff for the incredible
support they gave us during this
difficult and stressful time. I have
spread the word in all the sailing
organizations we belong to,
encouraging others to join DAN
if they are not already members.
I maintained a log of every phone
call to DAN and every medical
detail, but those records were sent
back to Canada with Lynn and the
paramedic. I now cannot remember
how many times I talked to DAN
on the phone, but they were always
there for me.
