There are no words worthy of expressing the magnitude of such a tragedy.
I am finding it difficult to say much of value at this time.
Ocean Racing is a hazardous activity. Just like car racing. You take all
the precautions you can, but accidents happen. Hans was unfortunate. I
was feeling for him from the time I got word that there was a man
overboard. I have always assumed that if you fall off one of these boats
that will be the end.
My thoughts are with his wife and family now. We had a very young death
in my family few years back so I have seen how trying that is on
everyone.
