Ben and I were on our way to Port Orchard WA to begin our new cruising life aboard our Monk 40’ Pilothouse CAMELOT. We were once again traveling north from Mexico towing our travel trailer, this time via Pueblo CO and Ben’s son’s family. Denver - Cheyenne - Medicine Bow - Flaming Gorge and on to Craters of the Moon. It’s windy in that area and a gust caught the trailer causing a fishtail which I couldn’t control. The car rolled into a ditch while a Sheriff looked on from the highway. We were rushed to a Pocatello Medical Center 2 minutes away. Ben was resuscitated at the scene but never regained consciousness. We withdrew life support after family had spent time with him. I am now back in the Bay Area recovering from my fractured sternum. Services will be held at RYC in the Fall. No words describe my shock and sadness.
