We've been out of Email contact for more than a week and we were Jonesing for some news from family and friends. Unfortunately with good comes the bad....
We were devastated to learn of the accidental death of our good friend Charlie. I can't begin to describe the feelings of loss and remoteness we have.
Charlie was one of the few people that I could consider a mentor as far as sailing goes. He had been sailing for decades and was only too eager to answer any questions we might have. We spent summer weekends and vacations, sailing along side him and his wife, it was time cherished and well spent. They literally took us under their wings and took us on our first "cruise" up to New York City, it was our first time going out an inlet and out into the ocean!
Charlie's sense of humor was wonderful and we'll miss him and his emails immensely. I can't really begin to express our grief.
Sail fast Charlie.
Love, Christy & Bill
