Now it is 2 months later since the BOUNTY went down and we lost you. I still find it hard to talk with others and tell of what a fine, dignified leader and friend you were to me. From my first 10 weeks aboard in 1998 to my last sail with you in 2010 we shared many good stories, yarns and events. You were a sea captain cut from the same cloth as those from the Great Age of Sail! In your quiet way... you were bigger than life. My life is richer for knowing you Robin. My wishes go out to Claudia and her daughters. Fair winds, my friend...
