Andy (Andrej) Osusky - Opentransat

[Alastair Lidstone]

I’m really sad to share that Andy Osusky, the builder of OpenTransat has sadly passed away. 

The news has been announced by his family on his Opentransat facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BiArpPPQx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Andy made numerous attempts at the microtransat and shared all his designs via his facebook page. His last attempt in 2019 made incredible progress across the atlantic. 

He will be deeply missed by the microtransat community.

Thanks Alastair. Sad news indeed. I don't think I spoke with this Osusky, unless by chance he is the guy who is mentioned in one of Snoopy's blogs, testing SPOT by dangling it out of his windows where he lived in eastern europe ? I'm sure that guy will correct me, and all I can say is on my "Family" page http://www.gpss.co.uk/family.htm >>

"You can shed tears that they have gone, Or you can smile because they have lived. You can close your eyes and pray that they'll come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all that they have left. Your heart can be empty because you cannot see them, Or you can be full of love that they have shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live for yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember them, and ache that they have gone, Or you can cherish their memory and let them live on. You can cry, and close your mind, be empty, and turn your back. Or you can do what they would want, Smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

googling Andrej Osusky ... Probably not the same guy, but, if it is, important to me - and Snoopy

But LOTS of other guys on the Net with same name

A sad loss. Andrej was one of the two most competent solo Microtransat competitors (the other one being Philip Smith).  Of course Andrej always went west to east which is the easier route, and his 2019 effort reached Ireland. But had he tried east to west I thought he and Phil had the best chances.

Sad indeed. I looked up to Andy and was inspired by his project and achievements.
