'Megga soaks up the atmosphere at his infamous BBQ held each Wednesday of race week at the beautiful Spalding Cove - 2008 Lexus Lincoln Race Week' Matt Gryst

Breaking News - Geoff 'Megga' Bascome has died at sea, doing a yacht delivery off Borneo.

The Australian Sailing community has lost possibly its most colourful character.

Friend to thousands and so willing to give of his time and knowledge. At least he was doing his favourite thing - out covering lots and lots of blue water miles.

Our condolences to his Mother, Daughter and Son.

The great man will live on and not just for the BBQ held in his name each year by the Port Lincoln Yacht Club.

We are assembling stories and images, a tribute to Megga.

All contributions will be appreciated and laughed over, 'cause that is what Megga would want us to do!!
