Brian Black R.I.P

Indeed so.

First mate and I were invited aboard his boat in Glenarm five years ago for coffee and a chat. We took the biscuits. He was surprised just how much of his beloved Strangford Lough we had explored.

We were to visit him and his club next time we went to Ireland. Sadly, that was to be this season but now it will never happen.

Condolences to his Daughter who was working for the enviromental campaign the Green and Blue.

A nice guy who had done it all.
 
Brian made some documentaries for UTV describing his exploits in Northern waters, in about 2000 one of the girls that crewed with us racing signed up for a trip to Svalbard. With his passing perhaps they might think it appropriate to show them again.
