The CNDA Web Site is now in a period of Mourning, as indicated by the black borders on the "Home" and "In Memoriam" pages due to the tragic loss of PO2 Craig Blake, in action on 3 May 2010.
Our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the family, colleagues and friends of our fallen Comrade - Canada and the Diving Branch mourns with you.

Fair Winds and a Following Sea
May the road rise up to meet you,
may the wind ever be at your back,
May you find old friends waiting to greet you, there on
the outside track
We're gathered together old times to remember, 'tis but
for ourselves we would grieve,
So we'll sing you a chorus and bid you farewell - fair
winds and a following sea.
We'll sing of 'The Leaf' and 'The Parting Glass',
we'll raise up our voices in song,
No sadness today for the one who has passed, celebrate
with a voice glad and strong.
A catch in the throat, a tear in the eye, but no funeral
dirge will this be,
We'll roar 'Auld Lang Syne' as a victory song - fair
winds and a following sea.
And those of us left here will miss a true friend,
who shared with us good times and bad,
Raising a glass to your memory we'll say: We've known
you why should be we sad?
We honour a life that was lived to the full, we honour a
spirit, now free.
You'll long be remembered, whenever we say: Fair winds
and a following sea!
You'll long be remembered, whenever we say: Fair winds
and a following sea!
