Hey bud 

I was just thinking of you, and the times we had boating, particularly fishing on KT and the times you fished and always caught well just like your mum. I remember you cleaning (gutting) the fish and loving it. You were laughing at George who was trying not to throw up as you did it.

You were always smiling

You then saved him on another day with your arm broken when he fell in the river ... you were trying to attract my attention while being quiet as I had told you both to "keep the noise down". 

You were always smiling

You jumping in with Matt off the boat .... miles out to sea after fishing and you both racing back to the boat when you realised the sea was actually freezing. 

You were always smiling

Then sailing your own little yellow Topper and the bass jumping into it.

You were always smiling

Sailing on the Three Brothers with the uncs and more recently sailing on Winnie with the same crew. Helping with the sails and steering her to the winds 

You were always smiling

Taking you on the back of my Ducati once ... quite fast ..... You getting your first scooter, then the City fly loving the freedom of your own wheels 

You were always smiling

You were so proud of your babies when they were born and rightly so too

You were definitely smiling those two days

Why ever did you stop smiling ......

Now turn away from the wind and let it blow you just like I showed you.

Godspeed to meet with the others
