From what I read through blogs of the folks who were sharing the same waters as Alex, was that he beamed and spread that passion of life to all that came in contact with him. He was magic! But he “was” and he wouldn’t want anybody to be doddering about, feeling sorry. Every day is worth that passion for living. We can only hope to keep finding it within ourselves and let it out, as we grow older. Three more nights from now, I begin my new passion for living every day to the fullest…..aboard a 424, south bound as soon as possible.

At least now when I bother you all asking questions, it’ll be from aboard the boat.

Great video: He died of typhoid. I wonder if eating the watercress raw from the river was the cause.
