Herbert Clyde Seaton Jr.

I helped Herb get his boat in order in Annapolis then helped him on the Loop until Peterborough Canada. I saw him in so much pain but so determined to finish his third Loop. We saw new places, old friends and he was happy. I am happy I was part of his life. Toby, thank you for being there to help your Uncle finish his goal.

Herb is gone. Such a sad feeling for Susan and I. The Captain of the Phanthom has been called to the next cruising ground by the Admiral. We have been friends with Herb since August 2017, when he invited us to our first "Deck Tails" in Luddington. We had a fun evening with 6 other Loopers recounting our adventures. Herb had just hooked up with Mike Sheeney, and they were two solo Loopers heading to Chicago. He chided me on our Kha Shing 37, saying we had been picked " too early" as...

I met Herb in Germany and married him shortly after our move to Sand Key FL. He took care of my son Luciano and introduced us to the Beach life. We loved to eat and cook together, went many times to Tarpon to eat the grilled Octopus. We kept in touch through all those years and he always was there when I needed advice. He will be missed!!!

Herb met us at the marina in Tarpon Springs, right after our gulf crossings. Pastry in hand. This was 2016. From that day on, Herb was our friend, advisor, and provider of stone crab. The loopers who knew him, admired him. Those who never met him will hear many stories about him. We will all miss Herb.
