One of the lessons of Cruising Live Aboard life that we have learned is one of kinship. We met Chris when he and his dad had returned from a 4 month cruise in the Pacific Northwest. They had been living aboard for a years in what was for us a new home. Chris and his dad became not only neighbours but friends. Of all the neighbours we've had on land, none have become friends the way John and his father had.
A short time ago tragedy struck and Chris was missing. He was found almost a month later. He had drowned. Needless to say, his family was devastated. So too were we. Our marina's community is a strong one, and one gets to know people. We help each other. When something like this happens, we all feel grief and sorrow.
To his family we extend our deepest condolences and assure them that he is in our hearts and in our prayers.
