Rest in Peace - Mr. Kent Dryden

September 2014

Liberty Maritime director, Sea Scout leader and our close friend M. Kent Dryden passed away Sept. 23,2014.

Kent had been steadily declining in health, due to cancer, and passed quietly at home with his daughter Airica by his side.

Kent came to the Sea Scout Ship Tiki Too in 1997 and was a founding director of Liberty Maritime in 2001. He has been our partner in the rehabilitation and operation of PTF-26 Liberty, Fir, DSU Dive Boat and countless other projects. He was our Chief Cook, Engineer, gun expert, fabricator, repairman and handyman as well as a friend to our officers and crew. Despite having been diagnosed with cancer a year ago he stayed active in our program, ran drill at all three Northern California Sea Scout regattas and made our summer cruise in June / July.

Kent was a good friend and great shipmate. He is and will continue to be sorely missed.

Captain Jim West
