Captain Doug Stein.......

We have received word that our friend and fellow sailor, Bryan Douglas Stein has died  Saturday night at his home in Gulf Breeze, Florida with his wife, Peggy at his side.  Doug was 47 in February of this year and a monster called Glioblastoma Multiforme was the cause of his death.  He fought the horrible brain tumor right to the end but there was no winning this battle.

Anne & I first met Doug and Peggy in 2000 at one of the Corsair Nationals in Ft Walton Beach, Fl.  For some reason we hit it off right from the start when he walked up and wanted to know what a "SATO" (our F-27 at the time) was!  Since then we have seen them when possible and it was only less than a month ago that we managed  to make it to Gulf Breeze for one more visit.

Doug, you won't have to worry about which boat you will be on next..............your memory will always be with us as we head out to sea!!

Fair winds Captain Doug
