Reason No 3 why the blog stopped

We said goodbye to Mr John Moore.

John married Nina’s mother, Maleta in 1986 and to Nina he was her Dad.    

John travelled the world and experienced enough for two lives and adventures that we could only dream of.   In his younger days John was an avid sailor, racing flying forties in Stranraer and always took great interest in our sailing adventures and was one of my regular two readers!    

In the early days of our involvement, we were offered a part share in Le Jouannet but didn’t have the funds.   Without any hesitation, John loaned us the money and we will be forever indebted to him.    With John’s passion for exploration, we would like to think that he saw yet another extension of himself in us and LJ and so there will always be a bit of John with us on board.

John was much loved and despite not being able to spend his last few months at home he was constantly surrounded by friends and family.  John passed away peacefully 1st May 2025 at the stunning age of 92 with Nina by his side.
