In Memory of Jo Schnetzler
It is a very solemn day in Santa Cruz today. Our good friend and sailing buddy, Jo Schnetzler, passed away a week ago. Today, Jo's wife, Valerie, along with Jo's friends and family, have gathered aboard a small fleet and sailed out of Santa Cruz Harbor to scatter Jo's ashes, and to remember him. Here, aboard Cirrus, we cast a lone carnation into the vast Pacific, and we remembered Jo with a special log entry:

Thank you so much, Cirrus, for the beautiful tribute. It's wonderful that, though you are surely very busy with the race, you were able to take the time to honor a fellow sailor and friend.
We missed you, Chris, at the gathering yesterday. I know that had you been in Santa Cruz, True North would have joined the solemn procession of boats following Heartbeat in honor of Jo.
Take Care, Diana
