The reported deaths of four Americans, including a Seattle couple, in piracy off Somalia is terrible news for friends at the Seattle Singles Yacht Club.
Past commodore Joe Grande says Bob Riggle and Phyllis Macay were "Great sailors, good people. They were doing what they wanted to do, but that's small comfort in the face of this."
Grande says he last saw Riggle in September when he was "in country" - his boat was in France - and saw Macay some time last year. The two have been sailing and traveling around the world.
The Seattle Singles Yacht Club has about 150 members who take part in sailing and boating events.
