On behalf of everyone at SailNet and the entire SailNet community, I would like to offer our deepest sympathies to Smackdaddy. As some of you undoubtedly know by now, Smackdaddy recently suffered the tragic loss of his wife in an automobile accident. While I would not be so presumptuous to pretend that anything we might offer, would alleviate his loss, it is my hope that by letting Smackdaddy know that we stand with him as a community, keeping him in our thoughts and our prayers, we might offer him some small degree of emotional comfort and shelter during this time. Smackdaddy has played a key role in maintaining the vibrancy of the SailNet community for many years. Please join us in letting Smackdaddy know we are thinking of him and his family.
Steve - that's BFS you're dealing with man. There is no glory in it, but we are all pulling for you. May you come through with your bright spirit in tact.

Sending positive thoughts your way. Truly sorry you are facing whatever happened right after loosing your boat, but sadly it seems this latest crisis may put the loss of the boat in perspective.
Steve,
I'm terribly sorry to hear of your problems, whatever they entail. I know this might seem like bs, as I don't know you, nor you, me, but it's not. I've read your stuff here, and you seem like a good person, trying to help when you can. Cruisingdad thought it worth mentioning here, so that's good enough for me. If the situation starts to overwhelm you, please don't wait to find a good listener. Clergy, professional, whom ever.
The best to you sir, and you are in our Prayers.....
I have often been a beneficiary of Steve's/Smackdaddy's posts, whether for the sailing insights or the sheer entertainment value. I don't know what loss he is facing, but I don't need to, and frankly no one can really know or judge another person's loss. All we can do is acknowledge it, and hope that the number of persons who would like to "give back" by offering our moral support will lift his spirits and help him get through whatever he faces.
Steve,
All we can do for now is wish you fortitude and hope for the best for you and yours. And we can hope that in the future we can do whatever little we might to try to help. From next door to Texas, Pat.
Indeed, smack has always provided helpful words of wisdom from which we all have benefited. Dont know what his troubles are, but I hope he finds the guidance needed and wish him well.
"All of the above"! Your strength is clear to your "family" of Sailnetters. Our thoughts are with you, Smack! Hang tough! If you need anything, Holler!
Hey Steve whatever it is that is wrong with life I hope it's over soon. I'm not religious man so prayers are not my thing but I really hope things improve for you.
