Both the boating community and MAIB will be poorer for his going.

I never met Robb, but through his writing and wisdom about all
things "boating" he became important in my life. A few days ago he
wrote:

" I am fixing to have to go into the hospital on Tuesday morning and
when (If?) I get the hell out of there, I am going, dammit, to the
coast and ain't coming back until I get good and dadblamed ready so
email will be spotty at best. Good luck. "

We will all be poorer for his loss.

Terrible thing!
Dad was planning on commissioning Robb to build him a copy of his
"Rescue Minor".

Anybody know what the cause of death was?
