We are heart-broken to tell you all that after an incredible Atlantic Crossing, finishing second in class, and the best few days in Grenada celebrating with our ARC Plus family, Ewan passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on the 12th December. He was in no pain and received the best care to the end. He died where he was happiest, on his boat, on the water, surrounded by his family and friends after an amazing adventure. There are no words right now to express how we all feel. In due course, once we have taken Ewan home, there will be a memorial service and celebration of his far too short, but well lived life.
The boys and I will be heading home for Christmas and after some time with our families and friends will start to work out what the future will look like. We know we will carry on our adventure in the future in some way so that we can live our family dream as Ewan would want, but as yet that way is not clear. So for now at least there will probably not be many updates except for details of his memorial service. We will be creating a memorial page on Facebook and would be honored if you would contribute any pictures, memories or stories you have of him for the boys to have as they grow up.
Next time you see a beautiful sunset, sunrise or sit and admire the vast night sky or the rolling waves, think of Our Big Amazing Wonderful Man and keep him alive with us.
For now, sending all our love to everyone
Sarah, Archie and Fergus xxxx
