I wanted to let you know, that Capt Don, passed away last monday. Apparently he had a stroke, whilst mowing his grass. It doesn't seem a fitting end to such a character as Capt Don. He will be missed. Enjoyed reading this. I wanted to let you know, that Capt Don, passed away last monday. Apparently he had a stroke, whilst mowing his grass.

Our neighborhood friends, our sails on the Pioneer, my relationship with the Seaport Museum’s staff, the walking tours I love to lead for students and family members — these things will remain a significant part of our lives. I’m not sure we’d have been able to move, otherwise.

And we did find it — again and again, in brown bar after brown bar, though a couple clearly stood out as our favorites. Our ideal places had age, character, kindly locals, and plenty of space for a group our size, inside or out. They were the places a family might show up on a Saturday morning to play board games with the kids or where people drop by to say hello to the bartender while they’re out walking the dog.

It's no mean feat to keep a bar open in Manhattan for two years, so hats off to Jason and Sara. We're on our way down to the party, having just come from a sunset sail. If you're in the neighborhood, come on down. If not, it won't be the same without you. xo -- bw Happy anniversary to Fresh Salt!
