Gerry Besson, author, historian, publisher, Caribbean man, keeper of the secrets, and my friend.

Gerry was a crewman on the good ship Sea Wyf. He told some of the very best stories on many of our long sea voyages. He and Tommy love this poem and they both often showered us with its sweet words, which so elegantly describes a sailing voyage when you leave the land behind.
Farewell Gerry.
A special thanks to John Masefield for writing one of Gerry’s favorite poems and to @Sappheiros for the back ground music “ Passion”. Also for the use of some sailing pictures taken at the Angostura sail week by Tim Wright.

RIP Wor. Bro. Gerry. Met Gerry through my brother Wayne at Sel-Mor Display Co. when I was a kid. We were Brothers in the Craft, and often ran into each other at Adam's in Maraval and shared some delightful "Ole Talk"
