I heard recently that Val from Silver Heels II died in Turkey on 16 December
and is buried in Karabaglar Christian Cemetery, Izmir.

Steve Rowlands and I travelled in convoy with Val and her partner Graham
through the Red Sea in the early part of 2009. It was a struggle along the
coast of Sudan and Egypt and we spent many days waiting out the weather
together in desert marsas and on remote reef anchorages.

Val will be a great loss to the cruising tribe.
