So many great memories of sailing in Newport, Narrangansett Bay and paties at Harbor Court. Miss it bigly 🙁

Until he does, he’s our guy.’ ” Scandone said sailing had “given me a reason to get up in the morning.” He added: “I slowly become more paralyzed. I can sit back and watch it happen, but that’s going to happen anyway so I might as well do what I love.” Scandone, who has beaten many of the sailors he will face at the Paralympics, is not taking anything for granted. “I’m taking this one event at a time,” he said. “At the Olympics you’re representing more than yourself. You feel that you have a lot more weight on your shoulders. I’ll enjoy that weight while I have it. What’s next after that, I don’t know.”Whatever happens, Nick, we're watching and cheering for you!
