You might not be able to read the text on this one. It's called Sea Fever by John Masefield. Several of the Ellis family know this one...and we always think of Billy.
PEACE NOW!!



Holding the course.


78 - With siblings (L-R) Jane, Richard, Stephen. This is Billy's notorious yellow Karmann Ghia. He carried a Porsche key fob and flaunted the fob - a real chick magnet. Hey, they're both made by Volkswagon right!

91-91 With ZZ Top. Billy was the lone Canadian on the tour - he is on the right, a couple rows from the back and you can tell it's him in the traditional Canadian uniform - a lumberjack shirt!

The 'Auntie Billy' with nieces Melissa and Jordyn in Kelowna.

words can't say how much i miss Billy

A few more photos and some stories


I guess a lot of you would have sailed with Bill at some point, but how many of you knew he was a killer baker of ships bread? We sailed to Hawaii on my boat one year and a highlight of the day would be when bill would get the bread going... and he could play a mean game of crib. I was reading through the log books from the Hawaiian trip today and there is a note recording his 30 point hand coming up the home stretch to victory! The cabin boy was choked!
I could fill a book with stories and I could listen for days to your own stories about Bill, so I hope to see you all on Sunday and we can enjoy some memories!
