Rick Tomlinson, Magnus’s crewmate on Drum, The Card, Intrum Justitia, and EF Language, and current SCA photographer, wrote in a tribute to Magnus after his death:

Just two weeks ago Magnus and I were watching these dolphins from the deck of SCA. Full of enthusiasm for everything in the ocean, he laughed like a child as they hopped and ran rings around the boat. ‘Look at them Rick, they make it look so easy, like the albatross we saw in the southern ocean on Drum.’

Girls, if a dolphin or an albatross stays with you just a little longer than the rest – let us know – Magnus will always be looking out for you.
