Always a shock to hear such news. For the rest of my sailing days,
whenever I'm port to port on a reciprocal course and half mile CPA
with a commercial vessel and I fail to contact them on the radio to
confirm the passing I'll think of Salty. Life is short and
unpredictable and then it's very, very long and very, very
predictable.

The airwaves are going to be a bit quieter south of the Cape. I hope
they have VHF in heaven.
