I'm a little late to the party... I just heard about this now. I'd just sent Vern's email address to some friends who are going to Utila for the first time, this summer. I told them that they HAD to cross with Vern... It was the highlight of a trip to Utila. A few beers, a few dolphins and a true eccentric. I'll miss him. My daughter lived in Utila a couple of winters ago while she worked on her DM. She's going to be devastated when she hears the news...
Has anyone spoken to Zuni? I am just wondering how she's doing...
Any new information would be appreciated.
RIP Vern.

A short poem for sailors |
Sailors pray, For fair winds and a following sea The smell of salt in the air, The feel of their skin as it's touched by the spray An albatross soaring above, Dolphins in the ship's wake at play To witness a work of art that only God can create, The sunset at the end of day At night a million stars in the sky, Safe anchorage in an islands lee When the time comes to die as for all it must, To awake in Sailors Heaven where nothing ever rusts And always there would be, Fair winds and a following sea |
