Update on La Paz Good Samaritan

In our recent posting For Lack of a Kill Cord we told the story of a good Samaritan, John Spicher, who was badly injured in La Paz while helping out a fellow boater who had fallen out of his motorized dinghy. John’s leg was severely mangled by the prop of the rescued man’s boat, which twice ran over him. 

John was medevacked to the UC San Diego trauma center, where he has subsequently been operated upon and is recovering. For those interested in monitoring John’s progress, a blog has been created to keep supporters up to date. There is also information on the blog that allows individuals to make PayPal donations towards John’s medical expenses.

From the looks of John, he’s recovering well, and we hope he can be back on his feet soon.
