Mike was so full of life, even and especially in the last 3.5 years. His sense of humor was as strong and mischievous as ever. It hasn’t fully registered for me that he’s gone. I first met him on the docks in 2002 while he was washing Aristocat between charters. Ten months later I bought her from him. He was a great BVI mentor for me, and whenever we were down at the same time, we always rendezvoused somewhere. I’ll always remember a down island trip we took on Sanctuary in May/June, 2008 with Mike, Jennifer, a three-year old Lilly and Malcolm. That’s one of many memories, all of which put a smile on my face.
He was so fortunate to have Jenn by his side. My thoughts go out to her and Lilly. There will never be another Captain Mike.❤️
