RIP WESLEY THOMPSON

Those that sailed with Wes said it best, "He will be greatly missed for his kind and gentle nature, his energy, his intellect, and his skills in sailing, cycling and surfing." "Great man lost!" "Wow, exceptional sailor. He was an integral part of the Farkals regatta. And will be remembered fondly as a great competitor." "He was a great sailor and competitor." "Wesley was a very fine man and person who will certainly be sorely missed. A tremendous individual and very gracious. He's tops in my book, unquestionably tops."
