Ted Kennedy has gone sailing again.
Just hours after he returned home to Massachusetts from a North Carolina hospital where part of his brain tumor was removed, Kennedy and his wife were out sailing in the waters off Cape Cod.
It's the same routine he followed last month after being released from a Boston hospital following his diagnosis.
He told reporters today he's "glad to be home."
Kennedy's office says he will continue to recuperate at home before starting the next phase of his treatment. The surgery a week ago was aimed at improving the success of chemotherapy and radiation.
His son, Congressman Patrick Kennedy, says he plans to have dinner with him tonight.
As for the benefits of being at home, Patrick Kennedy says it "always makes him feel great being near the ocean."
