Our dear Captain "Crazy Ed," it won't be the same without you and your precious Carmelita across from us, loving life on our sailboats, hearing you announce passionately "What a beautiful morning! You going out today?" And then, later in the evenings, seeing you come in under sail, always stretching it to the limit. What passion you had! We'll continue to raise our sails and, undoubtedly, think of you. We love you and miss you so. Fair winds, dear mate.
