Mourning a Loss Amongst Us


Four French sailors drowned in the sinking of their 13m catamaran, Tuesday, off the town of Saidia on the northern coast of Morocco, reportedly due to bad weather. Four bodies were found near the border city of Algeria; a fifth is still missing, leaving some hope of recovery as the lifeboat has not yet been identified.

The boat had left Marseille (south of France) early in the morning and had plans to make a long journey with stopovers to Brazil. The skipper was experienced but the reported conditions were "very bad" at the beginning of the week in the north-east of Morocco.

No official reports have identified the sailors, but linked is a Blog in anticipation of such a journey by Bernard Allemand, skipper of Belize 43 "LOVE LOVE". Also on board this catamaran are two couples, making the similarities between the reports dismally parallel. I have lost sleep over this tragedy and cannot imagine the heavy hearts felt by family and friends who knew them. My heart and sympathy goes out to them as the loss is felt through our catamaran community I am sure...

As further information presents itself we hope to learn the cause so that future tragedies can be avoided.
