In Tribute To John Fisher | Volvo Ocean Race (2017-2018)

"He is one of our own, a long-standing member of the team. He is a great and experienced sailor, the finest human being and a true Scallywag." - Seng Huang Lee, 2018
A tribute to John Fisher, a man who dedicated his time "passing the learnings from his lifetime of experience at sea onto the younger sailors", and a true sailor at heart.
May you rest in peace, John.

It was a privilege to have met you Fish and to shake your hand. Gone but never to be forgotten.....

[@hannorasmusholtiegel6044]

Gone,lost to the element of his passion.
The sea may now be the place of your rest,but so are our hearts.

[@hannorasmusholtiegel6044]

He was born a sailor ,lived a sailor and died a sailor and a legend .
The sea is the place he loved and belonged ,now he can stay for ever.
I am sad Inever met fish,still I am moved by his loss to the sea.

John, from one sailor to another, even though you never knew me, my heart goes out to you, and to your loved ones left behind. Sail on to the glorious horizon on your eternal quest. Sail on and let the oceans pass behind you. Sail on...

Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas, 1914 - 1953
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
