Tributes

I met Mike in 1982 at the Russell Boating Club's "Tall Ships Race" and assisted as tactician on "Windrose" resulting in a trophy win by eight seconds. We repeated that win the following year in '83. Such fun being around Mike with his infectious love of life and sailing. Also, many fun music jams with our guitars and singing. Mike had a folder of silly songs which kept us all laughing. I'll miss you heaps. Sail on in fair breezes Mike. Fran Woodcock
