It was with great sadness that we learnt of Beverley's passing on the 27th August soon after returning from the Maine Cruise. A number of us from the Little Ship Club had the pleasure of having sailed with Bev and her husband Marty both in UK waters and in the US.

When she and Marty hosted us on Avalon there wasn't anything that was too much trouble even though she was clearly unwell on more recent trips. She always made us so welcome and we have a number of her trademark embroidered towels and shirts by which we will fondly remember her. I'm sure she leaves the Kent Island Sailing Club, the Corinthians and the Little Ship Club the poorer for her passing and leaves her many friends saddened to think that we will no longer share passages with her again.


Our deepest sympathy goes to Marty and her family with whom our thoughts are at this very sad time. A memorial service will be held at the Kent Island Sailing Club on 10th September.
