My story with Nick began when I developed an interest in learning to Sail. Fortunately a mutual friend and work colleague of Nicks put us in touch with each other. That was the start of a great friendship.
Nick was hugely supportive of myself and other novices alike, both generous with his time and the use of his boat too. Without him I would never have achieved bucket list challenges and experiences of the Fastnet, Cowes Week and Round the Island races or learning to eat arse hot chilli and curry from a plastic dog bowl Sailing along at 45 degree on a lumpy sea, which was not so much a bucket list activity but more of a survival story.
Of course along with Sailing we both loved a beer or two, proper English dark and warm stuff and not that lager rubbish. Little did I realise that I would develop a taste for Dark and Stormies too, a skinful of which seems to be the prerequisite before the following mornings round the can Sailing or après race nights in distant French ports.
Unfortunately Nick moved away to Plymouth and lately back to his home of Derby so our meetings were less frequent than I would have liked. Sadly we were due to meet this coming week. He'll be sadly missed....
