Video: Kennedy's sailing trip, comments

May 21, 2008
(NECN: Hyannisport, Mass.) - It was a day at the shore designed to send a message. Ted Kennedy has no plans to slow down. Senator Kennedy and his wife, Vicki, went sailing Wednesday afternoon, just one day after it was announced that he has a brain tumor. On a picture perfect day for a sail, Kennedy took his Portugese water dogs for a swim, and then climbed aboard for a sail aboard his boat 'Mya'. After the sail, Kennedy summed up his health with a one word answer. "Good." He's told family members he's planning to race this weekend in the Figawi, an annual regatta between Hyannis and Nantucket.
