A great friend and fellow boater is in the hospital. Most of you know Dick Tyndall, here on I/W as El Zorro, had gotten into the full size kneel down hydros like his dad used to race & up until last year he had a guy driving for him. Well this year he decided to slide into the cockpit & was having fun gettin' into running when lady luck abandoned him this past weekend at a race on Maryland's eastern shore. During one of the heats after they had made some turn fin adjustments to tighten the boat up Dick barrel rolled his hydro & landed himself in intensive care. He was transported back to Virginia & is now out of ICU and in a regular room at MCV in downtown Richmond, 11th floor room 438. He will be there for a bit and needs to undergo therapy & another surgery to fix his one arm that at the moment he can't move, they already operated to repair the couple vertebrae he messed up in his neck. Needless to say there won't be anything coming out of the Virginia Craftsman shop for about 6 months until he is fully healed, the doctors told him he's lucky he wasn't paralyzed. So to all my good friends & fellow boaters please find the time for a few prayers for Mr. Tyndall & for him to have a speedy recovery.
