Colin Craig was a sailor's sailor. He built two boats and sailed across many an ocean. He was always supportive, helpful and encouraging to his fellow sailors. He convinced Carolyn and I to take the 'fun, windy' route across the Indian Ocean. He was nice and friendly and an extremely competent sailor... and he was also tough as nails.

I admired him.

He's shown here with his wife Glynis and their beloved Muffy.

Colin was killed in June of 2008 aboard his 50 aluminum speedster Deja Vu while about 80 miles north of Fraser Island off Australia in a severe gale. He was hit in the head with the boom.

He's in Fiddler's Green now... resting in peace.
