Mike and Anja Boyd Accident Medical Help

Hi my name is Deb and I'm fundraising for Mike Boyd. Mike and his wife Anja were involved in a terrible boating accident near Staniel Cay in the Bahamas. They were run into by a larger boat while in their dinghy and Anja did not survive the impact. Mike was left with broken bones and is currently unable to walk.

Mike and Anja were one of the first friends that we met when we decided to go full time cruising. In the beginning, comments flew back and forth between our blogs long before we even met in person. Later we shared time in various ports, over a hardtop build for their catamaran, over hurricane prep for Joaquin, over Ubiquiti Bullet frustrations, over my husband's cardiac arrest and my broken wrist while we were in Oriental, NC. They are a valued part of the cruising community and we cannot overstate the depth of their friendship.

All of the donations that you give will be transfered directly to Mike and used to offset his out-of-pocket medical expenses and the costs to transport him from the Bahamas to his home in Colorado. He will also use the funds to cover transport and funeral expenses for Anja. Anything you can give to help Mike would greatly be appreciated and will go a long way toward helping him to heal from this unthinkable tragedy. Your support has been deeply moving and I can't thank you enough.
