Flotilla for Lee
On behalf of the entire Lee Sutherland Family, we want to thank those thinking of Lee during this most difficult time and thank those who were able to participate in the very moving flotilla tribute when he was laid to rest September 20. It just means so much. It was really, really beautiful and is so appreciated — Lee would have loved it.
We also want to thank all the members of our Harbor 20 Fleet for the many wonderful years of fun sailing, competition, and camaraderie — being part of the fleet and skippering his number 48 just brought him so much joy.
Fair winds, and thank you again,
Lee and Hollie
I have great memories of sailing against Lee starting in 1975. Lee was one of the original E22 owners and he was very fast. I remember short tacking up the beach between the Balboa and Newport piers on many many occasions. Lee, Jeff Farwell, John Riddell, Roger Meisinger, Fred Severcrupp, Rick Gantner, and many others influenced my early sailing days, mostly by kicking my butt! I always enjoyed seeing Lee on the water especially in recent years on the Harbor 20 with his lovely wife and their great dog!
We will miss you Lee.
