He was always in good humour before the starts, always competitive and very vocal at the mark roundings and probably one of the only people who would e-mail you after a race to apologise for those vocal outbursts. He believed strongly in playing the "game" hard and if he did something wrong he would withdraw from the race because it was a "game" and not worth fighting over in the protest room.<br />I for one already miss his stories and passionate approach to life and will for a long, long time even if he is still out there on the lake in spirit.<br /><br />Bill Strath<br />BDYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
