A sad awakening for Bahamas this morning as one of their Stars, their heroes, stopped shining on this earth. The whole SSL is close to the family of the legend Sir Durward Knowles, a man we will always keep in our hearts and minds for he is a true example of sportsmanship and we are grateful we were able to meet him and share some meaningful time with him.
Sail on Sir Durward Knowles, plenty more seas are awaiting you.
