Nick Burnham - His very last boat trip before he died was a final cruise up his beloved River Dart with my mother and I aboard my own boat

- Nick Burnham

After a long illness, my father died. Before he died he asked me to read a tribute at his funeral. He jotted down a few facts and dates for me. Under 'interests' he'd written A just two things, table tennis and boating. Oddly, I'd never really thought of him as an especially passionate boater, more someone who just happened to own a boat. But in fact my father was a boat owner almost continually since not long after I was born.
