I'm a country girl living in America. I have traveled to Auckland, New Zealand twice; spent a month each time. I was planning to return in 2024. I have been searching for my friend Graig "Ginger" Gibbs only to find out he passed away in 2007. All the information I presently have is no longer in service. Then, I searched the internet and came across the boat race with the Swashbuckler. I also discovered Ginger's mother has passed in 2019. She was a lovely lady. I am looking for more information from someone who knew him. I have tried to contact one of his brothers but can't seem to find any of them though the internet. I also tried to contact the former crew of the Swashbuckler Is there anyone here who can help me? I still can't believe he's gone.
I learned how to fish for John Dorian with Ginger several times when I was visiting. We also set crab cages out for breakfast meals. We mostly caught lobsters, yum, yum.
I would appreciate any information available. This was a real shock to me as he was larger than life, strong and healthy. Yes, he was daring and unruly like a pirate. He was too young to die.
Your very truly,
Terry Lyn
