Have just seen this very sad news, safe sailing Cappy, a true mans man, wonderful sense of humour, and always spoke his mind. Cappy you will be sadly missed.

Very sad news indeed, Cappy, god bless him, could always be relied on to say it how it was, no matter who you were or what was discussed, a stalwart of a man who rose from galley boy to factory owner by sheer hard work and being straight. Like most of us the MN was always in his blood and the MN gave us the courage to face anything.

Fair winds and full sails Cappy, our thoughts are with you on your voyage. This ship salutes you.
