My sincere, deep condolences to the family and friends of Alex. Indeed an extremely terrible tragedy...

I just now read all the articles including one from March 22nd where they presumed to have found his body. As a coast medic I've seen the viciousness of the sea up close and how it takes people away just like that. Thank you Alex, your great work lives on. Judging by the few messages-exchange I've had with you and your incredible creation of this place, you were well-to-do in life, and I grieve your early departure from this world.
