Many of the long time sailors here may remember a particular CP-19 owner and nearly an original member of this organization. Marcus Goller passed away last January 31. He had withdrawn from the group, as many do when he sold his 19 a few years ago. I had a ritual of calling him to say hey every year about this time. His wife Amy filled me in.

Crossing the Bar - Tennyson
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
