Sailed with Ronnie in the late 80's in Speedster Universal, after the demise of the UC mailboats. I don't think the MN was quite the same for him after SA Vaal.
Sad news indeed.

Sailed with him on the King Richard a couple of times, & then a couple of the foreign flag reefers. As you say, it wasn't the same for him after the Vaal.

RIP Ron.
