OMG!!!! I cannot believe this!! Oley was an incredible person who happened to be a great sailor. What a warm and sharing person- I can't imagine how Joanna is handling this. Oley was a great addition to the F16 ranks- I first met him when he was single-handing his H20 at Cat Caper and I was sailing my Taipan 4.9 uni. He was the only boat I couldn't catch and I remember helping him drop the H20 mast and then showing him how light the 4.9 mast was and how easy it was to rig compared to the H20. At the last Cat Caper I went to he and Joanna fed me breakfast in his GMC motorhome- they wouldn't take "No thanks" for an answer! I just can't believe he won't be at the next regatta-

Fair winds Oley!

Sorry for all our loss...
