On Saturday, January 31, the boats gathered before 10am. As the RETRIEVER headed out, the boats began leaving the Yacht Basin to go out to sea to bury their friend Don Blackman. It was a windy choppy day on the water. The fleet of over 50 boats went out past three miles to say goodbye to Don. Ashes were spread, flowers were cast to the waves and a wreath floated on the water....
