	I'm shocked. One window of my browser runs one of his tools with his name in the heading and the other window announces his death. We discussed the development of his tools and Aaron was always a good advisor. He improved SOL a lot. I still can't believe the truth now. My thoughts are with his family. Bernd (K3)

	Even though I'm on SOL vacation I go to the home-page from time to time, I even did the Tall Ships. It is terrible to see someone leave this world so early, a talented man has left us. My thoughts are with the family. 'you'll never walk alone'

	This is such sad news of AGage's passing. He will be greatly missed... Jim

	I have been stunned into silence by this tragic loss and have only just regained enough composure to honour our dear friend. Ode To AGage We sail to Larvik far in the north Our hearts too heavy to stay on course We’ve lost our friend, our mentor and sage. The fleet seems barren without AGage His presence is felt in all we do Our SOLing a tribute to him we knew His passion and talent cannot be replaced And we honour him though our joy of each race. Please watch over us all from your podium high While we watch for your countenance in each cloudless sky. The bell chimed too early for you Aaron, my friend To your family, the deepest of sympathy we send. May your winds always be lifting, your seas never rough Your course always steady, your sails never luff. You remain in our memory, a comrade and crew. We shall cross paths again, and our friendship renew. I miss you, mate. William/SP

	48 hrs I only started to admit the truth today. I'm an idiot for not telling my wife and friends as soon as I saw the search results. I'd never seen a picture of Aaron until RC posted his profile pic, but we've maintained a continuous friendship via email... funny how modern life turns out - someone I'll never meet, yet when I said "Aaron" my partner knew it was bad just from logging me out. The second posting kills me. We all know that the 105 pixels that define us online are meaningless. I absolutely hate that fucking clipart sailboat at the same time as being emphatically grateful that it is there. Thank you Katrina, Jen and Indi. Thanks Aaron. It'll be a while before I'm around. We have unfinished business, but half of us is missing. --- Last Edited by 76Trombones at 2012-07-16 02:36:10 --- Attachments AGage.png (27.9 KB)

Sinbad Braves the Bay of Bengal 2023
“Sinbad, you sorry sailor, why have you not told me of this great sea, this giant bay, stretching hundreds of thousands of qasbah east of Al-Hindi to fabled lands where tea and rice and rubber is abundant?” and Sinbad replied “Ahh, umm, shall I go have a look. May I take the Judel Vrolijk 62 again, it’s going to be a long voyage, perhaps a million and one half qasbah (c 3000nm)? I’ll start in Chittagong and follow the coast to the southern tip of the Hindus’ land, round Serendip, head east into the vastness of the seas, and if I’m lucky (no pun intended, oh Mighty One) I shall find land again and then head north and see where I end up”. “Fair winds, Sinbad”, said the Sultan.

Maryland to Alaska 2023
Welcome to this September edition of 2023 OCCH. This route was first sailed in 2020. At the time it was inspired by Matt Rutherford's single-handed Red Dot Expedition around the Americas in 2012, SOLer Renegade proposing a half-around from Maryland over the North into the Pacific and back through the Panama Canal, in 5 legs, 5 years later. Leg 2 across the North West Passage proved to be particularly challenging and so to create a proper Ocean Race, SRC combined Leg 2 with Leg 1 to give you a race of at least 4000nm from Maryland to Alaska, now to be sailed in our magnificent Archer 78.
