To round off a rather sad year we heard that Brian Southcott died on Wednesday. We saw him at John Harris' funeral where he spoke very eloquently, as ever. He was in a wheel-chair, being pushed by Joan of course, when I spoke to him about going to Salcombe next year, he said rather poignantly that he didn't know if he would make it. I had no idea just how ill he was. He was a very talented sailor and a very nice man. There is an interesting piece about him on the Tamesis website: https://www.tamesisclub.co.uk/2018/12/20/brian-southcott/
