Fair Winds for Ted

By LaDonna | May 23, 2008 | Hyannis Port, Massachusetts |

The media went nuts on Wednesday when Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy went sailing aboard his 50-ft Concordia schooner Mya just hours after being released from the hospital where he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. They used words like "brave" and "vigorous" to describe the 76-year-old Kennedy, which he undoubtedly is, but he’s also just a sailor who finds peace on the water. And we can’t think of a time when someone would need more peace than when facing what some believe is a death sentence. We wish the Senator many more days of fair winds and calm seas.
