Sailor Attacked - Jim Van Cleve

Sailing and cruising friend Jim Van Cleve was attacked at anchor on board his boat Kalokalo in Suva, Fiji January 25, 2017 at 11pm. Two people with a cane knife boarded his vessel and there was a confrontation in the cockpit. Jim's been hospitalized in Suva with severe lacerations to his hands. Doctors think they can save his hand, but he may lose his thumb and needs at least one more surgery. The authorities in Suva have caught one of the perpetrators and it is believed it is just a matter of time before catching the other. Jim will need help with his hospital bills and physical therapy.
