Livaboard listers, I am sad to report that Claudia Kafer, the wife of fellow Livaboard Lister, Peter Kafer, died a few days ago. Peter and Claudia had just come back to the US from sailing with a friend around Italy. They were on their boat s/v Now Or Never, a 32' Pearson docked near Jacksonville, Florida. They were listening to the lies of other yachtees at a near-by watering hole. Claudia decided that she would return to the boat and go to sleep. Peter came along shortly thereafter. Peter did not realize that Claudia was not on board until he crawled into the V-berth and found it empty. He rushed out on deck and found Claudia floating in the water. Apparently she had fallen, hit her head, and fallen into the water. Claudia was a delightful woman and a great chief. She was a fabulous companion and partner for Peter. It is especially sad that they had finally gotten to a stage where they could sail their own boat in "blue water" as well as crew on other off-shore boats. Our hearts go out to our fellow sailor, Peter.
