Farewell Mauro

Mauro died suddenly of cardiac arrest in Subic Bay, on 13 January 2010 . Our departure date from Subic had been set, and we were sharing a final 'goodbye' meal in Subic with Father Michael Duffin, a long time friend we met on our first visit to the Philippines in 1991. Father Michael, together with our friends Fran & Tom from SV Dagon, helped me with the final arrangements in Olongapo, for which I will always be grateful. I am also extremely grateful to Terry Sargent of SV Valhalla and his lovely companion Rose, who immediately and without hesitation or conditions, offered to help me sail Shadow of Lorelei to Sutera Harbour, in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, where I am now and plan to stay for the time being.

Typical Laser fashion @ Scuttleblog

Sailing a Laser downwind is... complicated. Here is a quote from past Olympian John Bertrand, who has returned to the class:"In typical Laser fashion, everyone was doing their own thing downwind. The sailors were sailing drastically different angles, everyone rolling wildly, and surfing the short steep waves to the best of their abilities."Here is a photo from the CISA Clinic in Long Beach this past week:Photo by Jacqueline Schmitz.
