Another good friend has left us. Many around the Med, Portugal and far off places will have met Tom and Anne on Alba Voyager, which they owned until last year when going to the dark side with a mobo Souvrene, at present in Bruce's. We awoke this morning to find a text message from Anne, telling us Tom died yesterday evening, no other details so far.

That's awful news - so unexpected. Poor Anne. :cry:

Hard to come to terms with it, he was a good friend. We spent about 5 weeks in close company with them up the Guadiana and El Rompido this last summer. He had spent Christmas as usual with his previous family in Scotland and was due to drive down to Bradford today to spend New Year with Anne who had spent Christmas with her aged mother. He evidently had a heart attack.

RIP Tom.
We helped Alba Voyager fit engine in Rhu marina in preparation for journey to med 2003. We met again in Messolonghi when Tom and Anne we’re heading for Turkey.

Ah the best

Ive just heard that absent friends are going to raise a glass at 16.00 on the 20th to Tom. So the Albufeira gang will be doing the biz then.
