Sam Britton sails away.Photo Album Eulogy

January 26 ,2011:Erika (Eberhardt)Anderson ex-chef S/y Astral, under Capt. Tony Perry, and ex-chef S/Y Tigris, under Capt. Richard Le Cayne?(spelling), sailed over the bar last night at midnight. The angels took her from her pain at 55 years young. Leaves behind a wonderful husband, Paul Anderson, her father John Eberhardt and brother John. Jon is a "lion" of the Brotherhood in Europe who weathered through the loss of his wonderful wife Brenda and now his daughter Erika to a terrible disease. Jungle Jane has put together a set of photos and memories of the years she has known Erika., She and Scott Smith stayed with the Eberhardts in 1985 after a Zaff on the Isle of Wright and has remained in touch with the family ever since, and then with Paul in later years. We all have very fond memories of attending Erika and Paul's wedding aboard ship during the Chilean Zaf. We all send our condolences to Jon and Paul.

Sam Britton sails away. Sam was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer almost three years ago, and had wrestled with that disease until his passing. Most will agree that Sam was the embodiment of the Brotherhood of the Coast. He was former Captain of the Sun Coast table, and served as National BOC Captain from 1998 to 2002. During the four years of his national captaincy, Sam visited many BOC “ports” all over the world, and always represented the USA Tables with wonderful professionalism and sincerity. He made many BOC acquaintances, and all who had the pleasure to know Sam respected his wisdom, insight, intelligence and friendship.Sam was 80 at the time of his passing
