Nice one Wayne, Weekend should be better.

Get well soon Mark, from all the competitors at Burrum Windfest.

Just an update on Mark, 4Hrs opp at Hervey Hospital today, will keep you informed.

Wishig you a speedy recovery Mark, nice to meet you and your family.

Hi guys. As you can tell from the above, Mark is pretty crook. Maree called me this morning to ask me to let the team know that Mark became sick up at Burrum and ended up in hospital having part of his bowel removed - obviously Mark is still in hospital after his operation and will probably be there for another week or so.

Mark and Maree have a lot on their minds at the moment and Mark is very sore as you could imagine. Mark and Maree will be in touch when they get back from Burrum, and said that they would let me know when further info comes to hand and I will post it here on this thread - ideally this will save Maree being bombarded with calls and having to repeat the same story to everyone.  

On behalf of the Marauders Mark, we wish you a fast recovery and no doubt you will be back giving us cheek and ripping around us on the water in no time.

Speedy Recovery Mark !!!!!!!!

Mark,

All the best on a speedy recovery and hopefully with as little pain as possible.  Also sorry to hear you're stuck in Hervey Bay

Hope you're starting to feel better Mark. Wish you a speedy recovery- all the best mate.

Mark, all the the best , on a speedy recovery.

Gee what a surprise, I'm sorry to hear that Mark took ill and was operated on.

Hope all went well and you get better soon Mark.

All the best from Wayne Bailey

All the best for your recovery Mark. I remember your hospitality you and Maree provided at all those regattas at Port Macquarie.

Spoke to MJ today. They were releasing him from hospital today, so he is going to slowly make his way back home. Doing much better.

HI, thanks for all the great thoughts , back in burrum heads , still windy , looks like will be out of action till summer , 6 weeks light duties and hopefully can fly home next week to start recovery , frustrating looking at the wind blowing from my unit , could have been the most awesome 10 days but good to be alive . So guys get out and do some great sailing to keep me excited , catch up when i get home

Mark,

Glad to see you are on the mend. That time will pass soon enough and it will just be a past memory. Concentrate on how well you'll be ripping next summer. Take care Mark.

Just saw this thread, all the best for a rapid recovery Mark.
