Me and Andy first met back in 2014/ 2015. I remember he needed some miles to gain his Yachtmaster ticket. Which I gladly dished out with a trip to Portugal, and Spain. He was very witty, down to earth and instantly I clicked with him. We had a special friendship, one I will never forget. I had the pleasure of sailing with Andy a few times, even bringing my own boat back to the uk from Gibraltar. We crossed Biscay at the end of October, bitterly cold, ferociously windy, but one hell of ride that I know Andy enjoyed. It’s not every day you have to radio Solent coastguard to get a container ship to move as we was in 50 knot winds and limited control! But it was a blast, one I know he enjoyed. And probably told stories about it for years to come. I will miss Andy, he was a a funny guy and I will miss our chats that we used to have. Fair winds captain.
