Just left Hardies Run with Binny being carried off in an Ambulance. She suffered a major laceration to the leg 30cm higher and it would have severed here femoral artery. Occurred during a collision with both parties unaware of each other.

Please LOOK and be aware of your surroundings!!!!!!

Just off to hospital now, she seemed ok, was in pain, and a bit of shock.

Hope Binny recovers soon Hards...

..."safety never takes a holiday" from some movie or other

send her our best wishes Joe for a speedy recovery

Binny best wishes from MBM

Hi Hardie,

Sorry to hear that. Hope she has a speedy recovery. Had a couple of near misses last time i sailed. You do have to keep your eyes peeled.

Cheers.

Just got a message from Hardie,

She's been stitched up so should be OK.

I'll pass on the well wishes.

Sorry to hear that. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Binny.

So sorry to hear about Binny's accident. We really appreciate the help and advice Binny and Joe have given us over the last week. Its been great fun sailing over here in WA. We hope to catch up before we head north in a few days.

Get well soon. Binny

Thanx guyz just got back from hospital. She's stitched up and pumped full of antibiotics.

It appears she was hit in the calf by the nose of an old pointy nose board. The nose caused a deep laceration pushing out the calf muscle and body fat, was not a pleasant sight. Just missed the major artieries and nerves, so in one way she was lucky she could have bled to death, we were nearly 800 metres from shore.

Anyway she's out of action for a while and spewing big time, the big issue now is infection because of the deepness of the wound and the deep laceration of the calf muscle.

Coulda been worse so we'll count our blessings and knowing that our community is fully behind us helps quite a bit thankyou!!!!!!!

Binny says "Thankyou very much and it helps that you are thinking of me, very much appreciated, I'll have plenty of time to chat over the next few days"

Binny, all the best for a fast recovery.

Get well soon Binny.....Lyn and Herby

Best wishes from Grumps and I ... couldn't have stood to lose the only sane person in Mandurah.
