Alison is always at hand with advice & encouragement for us budding new spearos. With the internet, it seems we are all not far apart. Alison is...

was... such a massive contributor

to our community -- she will be sorely missed...conspicuous by her absence. Hopefully, we have all learnt enough from her to continue to help each other with that warm comaraderie Alison specialised in. Thankfully her contribution has been captured & lives on in the forums.

Such a good person.
Hopefully Alison & Colin have found their own happy hunting ground, with superb beaches & clear seas. Where the yellow and blue fin tuna are plentiful, out numbered only by superb bass and huge Spanish mackeral.
