He an his crew sailed past us on anchor and dropped their hook just feet away from ours and before it had hit bottom, they were off on the dink to explore the jungle like cartoon characters climbing tree and cliffs.<br /><br />Alex seemed to live like he knew each day was his last.Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03877869192567715170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185480421832184956.post-84588664420607445812013-06-07T07:23:45.049+10:002013-06-07T07:23:45.049+10:00He chose well for a circumnavigation didn't he...He chose well for a circumnavigation didn't he.

He was so funny the first days with Bubbles...there was SO MUCH STUFF on the boat and he was across the dock from mine - youd hear "OH WOW" and the like every once in a while as he found some new treasure...Sail On AlexAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11864654525871500432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2185480421832184956.post-21838753165251836742013-06-04T07:37:42.665+10:002013-06-04T07:37:42.665+10:00Joe we are deeply saddened by your loss.

We all had so many laughs with Alex as the ringleader. Your Banana Race flag run through the streets of Bora Bora was classic Bubbles, sweet memories. May all the magical memories shared with your brother Alex continue to wrap around your heart and help to console you in time. He gave so much, a true leader. We send our love to you, your mom and family.S.V.
