June 26, 2008 – Captain Robin Walbridge on the HMS Bounty briefing his crew. I had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Walbridge on the Bounty, the tall ship that once called St. Petersburg home. It sank on Oct. 29, 2012 in Hurricane Sandy off the coast of North Carolina. Tragically deckhand Claudene Christian, 42, and St. Petersburg resident and captain Robin Walbridge, 63 lost their lives.
