It’s with great sadness I mention the passing of our very special and closest of friends Brian Restieaux.
Since we met through boating in 1984 we’ve shared many boating holidays and adventures in New Zealand including the co-ownership of a 12 metre power boat, Rapport. That name was chosen as it perfectly symbolised our relationship. Brian and his loving partner Carol did three cruises aboard Envoy with us in Turkey and Greece, including Crete and were due to join us in Croatia in July. But while in Australia on the way to meet us Brian fell ill and had to return home. He passed away peacefully in Auckland Hospital on 20 December. We will always remember Brian for his loyal and sincere friendship, his wicked sense of fun and his laconic sense of humour.
Brian, you’re leaving a big gap in our lives - rest in peace until we meet again in that final cruising ground.
