SSL699 ~ what's happened to the Captain?

Yes guys, I'm back! It's been a while but hey, after 12+ years with a camera in my face, and doctor's orders to tone down on all activities including sailing until after my surgery and recovery times, it was easy to decide to finally take some downtime with just family and friends.. but now I am feeling ready to get back in the game, and we've got lots to catch up on, so let's get started!
Cheers,
Captain Rick

So thankful that you’re still above ground!! There’s a lot of people who love seeing what you’re up to and following along on your adventures. God bless you Rick and your beloved family. 🤜🤛 ❤️

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Thomas!

[@thomasfholland]

Watching this ending brought a tear to my eye too. I can relate all too well to what you all went through. So thankful just knowing that part 2 is coming because *spoiler alert! You made it thru to come back on the other side and rejoin us on the living side!

[@CesarGonzalez-kt7vp]

Happy to see you again Captain!! Here's to Family and Good Health!! 💙

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Cheers to that!

[@Richard-vh9ug]

Wow, so so happy you are recovering. Rick you have to teach Maddy to do short messages letting us know what is happening in your life.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

We update our friends, family, and patrons all in our SSL Backstage group on facebook (link in the description), they always know what's happening with us, have a look! :)

[@christip20]

Rick, I don’t often comment but I’m your age and sometimes I’ve got to run my mouth when I see something that is age related! Don’t let them put the IV in the backs of your hands….. It leaves those huge bruises because our skin is thinner now, and they can put it numerous other places that don’t leave you looking like you’ve been held hostage! They can use the inside wrist, or inside the elbow too. It’s more comfortable for you too! My daughter is a RN and told me this on the way, after noticing the bruising the time before. I hope you’re doing & feeling better, you certainly sound & look better and I know the whole family has to be happy for that….Good Luck!

[@deniseterrell2515]

@@christip20I am an RN also… if someone does not have great veins and you try to put in their arm a few times.. that renders your hand no good.. have to start in the hand and work your way up.. if they have great veins and don’t want in their hand.. that is fine.

[@jerseyjeff2915]

So good to see your videos again. No surprise that you have more than 92 million views on your channel! Keep em coming please.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Jeff, always good to hear from you!

[@sharoncruzen1942]

It’s great for Richie to have a pet! Congratulations! Please don’t lose her overboard!

[@Mrflynlow]

We have missed you, Very happy to hear of your recovery, So fair winds to you and your family Captain.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

[@laisladedanielparra4371]

This chapter has it all, journeys, cat, preparation, blow to the head, surgery, carpenters, birthday party. It is one of my favorite episodes after Pirates of the Caribbean

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thank you so much!

[@jamesbillington5058]

So happy to hear from you. After months of silence, I was really worried. Glad to see you and the family again Captain.

[@clide427]

Glad to see you up and around I had faith I told my girl when she asked why I hadn't been watching you guys that you needed time off to recover....and I think we're gonna need a bigger boat....lol

[@jenrodgers]

Been so worried thank you for sharing what’s going on with you all. Hoping part two is a positive outcome. I’ll be watching for it! Be well crew! ⛵️💙

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks for your comment, and part 2 coming up next!

[@TammyBillings-qt1ve]

So happy and grateful SSL crew are back. So good to see you all again and your adventures. So glad all has went well. Cheers 🎉

[@jameso6913]

Glad to see you all are good, figured Capt. Rick was getting surgery and busy chasing little Richy and didn't have time to film or edit.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Keeping us busy for sure! :)

[@user-rh7fo7bb1o]

Dang Capt, thought y'all had made an unscheduled trip into the Bermuda Triangle. First Tikki, then the whole crew, I for one was worried. Always good to be looking at the grass from above... In all seriousness, we missed you and Matty and Ricci, Welcome back, God bless you all. Fair winds Capt.

[@pgoodier]

We have been following your journey and have been following you closely your medical issues and have been rallying for a complete recovery to full health. So thankful to see you back in action. Celebrating your recovery!

[@migueldelaguardia]

Wishing you many healthy and happy years captain Rick👍

[@jimmarshall5453]

Welcome back Captain. First, what is the label on that terrific SHIRT?? I think you two should do the parasailing at least once a year. I have recommended a wed/dryshop vac before, and they make fast inflators as well. Is that my next wife at the 14 minute mark? Those lights will look great going from the front to the top of the mast to the back of the boat on New Years too.

[@LAP1050]

Glad to see you Capt. See that the “Lady” has been hanging out around Cartagena.

[@cals4200]

Good to see your all doing OK down there Rick, hey never really realized it but we are pretty much the same age. Take it easy on that body of yours. See you next episode and wow Richie is two already!

[@vickyoakes4584]

So, so good to hear! Just 2 days ago I looked up your channel out of concern and just missing you all! Your voice Captain Rick sound so much better! Thanks be to the heavens, welcome back and much love to you all!!!

[@laisladedanielparra4371]

you put your head on the floor, what was that experience like. I like this story, it has moments going back and forth like a movie. quite entertaining... ooo Richy said waooooo

[@johns5991]

Missed watching you. Was a little worried. The brain does silly things with the unknown. Thanks for the update!

[@MrRich1068]

Sure missed you guys. Glad everything is good.

[@prof.dr.herbokoloq4154]

I wish you a speedy recovery, captain. It's great to follow you and your family. Welcome

[@edlooney9625]

Cats choose their humans. You are owned by cuteness and affection.

[@sandiemarioprovence3090]

So wonderful seeing you love the video can’t wait to see part two. I’m glad you’re healing well and this is all behind you.. ✌️ ❤️☀️

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

[@beedonn9260]

Well rick, I think I mentioned this a couple years ago that you needed to get that checked out. And I'm glad to see you're finally getting the attention that you needed for this. So I guess if there's a part two coming up things went well, at least I hope so good luck and get well soon

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks mate, recovery going well so far!

[@ivanjones-ud5dr]
