The memorial service and paddle out in honor of David Yudovin will be held on April 3rd at Leffingwell Park in Cambria, California at 3:00 pm.

Not only was Yudovin a renowned channel swimmer and boatman, but he was also a gifted entrepreneur who guided successful seafood companies and a waterman. His life truly centered around and was oriented towards the ocean.

The paddle out is an appropriate celebration where family and friends can remember his life and legacy as they swim or paddle out from the shore to the deeper waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Some will have flowers in their hands as they form in a large circle, join hands and silently pray or say their private good-byes. How appropriate to remember Yudovin offshore as well as while standing onshore.
