    Deepest sympathies. I wish there were words that could help fill the place in your heart.


    "Weep not for him, he rides the sea tonite.....His compass trembling toward the North Star's light."


    Godspeed Eric

    Thanks Eric,

    Shortly after I got my Ariel, I was reading everything on the internet I could find about them.

    I came across a post on a sailnet forum by a guy who was claiming to have sailed his to Hawaii, and asked him to come here and share some of the details.

    Eirc's generosity in taking the time to write up accounts of his trips on the fourm here, and for the newsletter helped inspire me to plan to cruise in our Ariel, rather then getting something 'bigger'.

    I really appreciate the attitude he shared, and the information. I wish his family well, and my condolences go out to them. I am sorry that Eric has passed, but thankful that we got to know something of him and his adventures.

    He will be missed.

    Sadness

    Eric had sent me a lot of knowledge gained from his travels and a boat load of tips to prep Sirocco for her trip to the South Pacific. Hell of a gracious and totally unselfish guy.
