Last night, at 8:45pm local time Raphael Velasquez passed away peacefully in his sleep.

From Rosa (The Cuban)

I would like to scatter his ashes on the waters of Key West to commemorate the long voyage he took so many years ago so that all of us may have the opportunity for a better life.

CP..sorry to hear that...but with dementia it is a blessing. He had quite a life and his family can be proud of all he accomplished. Please give our condolences to Rosa. May he rest in peace.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
