Last year I lost my Lightwave 38 cat, Arriba. I've posted here many times over the past 17 years about Arriba's travels far and wide, so it seemed only right to post one last time:

Very sorry to read about Arriba's wreck, that is a horrible thing to happen.

I remember as a lad I did a bike hike around K.I. with the scouts. We were due to get back on the ferry to Adelaide at Kingscote and it was too rough for it to come alongside. It tried several times but had to give up and return to Adelaide after suffering damage.

I have always liked reading your blogs, but this one was upsetting for me. It is hard to think of losing ones boat that has taken you so far and so well. Our boats are our protectors and our brethren. To lose Arriba must be awful.

I hope you have good times on the water again with the Rapido, tris can be lovely sailing boats.
