I look back on my memories of Antigua Sailing Week - of Stork, Tuna, Peter and Nancy Grimm and Bobby Symonette - Ed Sheerin and Twiggy - I cant believe almost everyone is gone - its surreal - Tuna was the race committee and a colourful character at dinner every night at Curtain Bluff - my daughter and I went out to Fremantle Australia at his invite to hang out and watch the Americas Cup starts. We shared a love of Switzerland because I was brought up on Lake Geneva where I first learned about...

I was very sorry to hear abt the passing of Tuna - I spent many many Antigua Sailing weeks w Stork Tuna Bobby Symonette Peter Grimm on the Comitte boat n my sister n I went out to Australia to meet up w Tuna n Stork for the America's Cup - an amazing man who taught us all so much about sailing n great times at Curtain Bluff!

Another legend "sailing downwind" with an all star cast of yachtsman! Great knowing you Tuna,you'll be missed.

Xmas 2010 - this will be the first Xmas Eve without Stork & Tuna - at least they can spend it together.

I always enjoyed the time spent with Tuna. Great man - he will be missed by all who knew him.

We will miss your visits to "Up North" Regattas in Harbor Springs, Michigan!

At the Southport Raw Bar with family & friends

Tuna was such a great influence on so many people in the sailing world. He is missed and will always be remembered.
