Dear Eleanor, Irene and Phillip Sending you our thoughts during this time . Love Deborah and Nita (Blackwood)

Rest in peace now dear friend Ian. Run Free with the wind and the sea. We will miss your humour and caring nature. With our fondest thoughts. John and Sarah Peacock.

Sail away safely Ian, From the first day we met you, sitting on board Running Free to talking Ali & I into buying her and falling love with her as you and Elanor did. When I got the call I had just taken some photos of her having a new paint job. Your grey hat still covers the compass and Elanors travel bar sits on the shelf in the forward cabin alongside two others. Hopefully Elanor will visit and see your boat looking as good as when you owned her. You are ever in our thoughts. Graeme & Ali

Condolences to you Eleanor and Family, sorry we can't be with you .all our Love Kaye and Patrick Harvey

Our sincerest condolences to Elanor & family. Many great memories to treasure.

I will never forget my adopted New Zealand dad my thoughts, prayers and love go out to Mum, Irene and the whole clan
