Oh dear, sad for his family.

But does this mean that Cambodia is more depressing than Thailand ? Or maybe its just easier to do something like this far from home ?

Charlie Harris was co-owner of a few chartered boats companies, including one that does surfing tours in Indonesia:

Surfing charters to both North Sumatra and West Sumatra and offers surf charters to the Mentawai Islands, the Telos, Nias, the Hinako Islands (Asu & Bawa), Bangkaru, the Banyaks and Simeulue.

Bohemian Baru Luxury Surf Charters at Affordable Prices

The domain for Surf N Sumatra is owned by Charlie Harris:

And another one that lists him as the owner/operator called SunLine cruises:

THE BOAT – Bohemian Baru is a 62' aluminum power catamaran custom-built by the owner/operators Steve Bridge and Charlie Harris. It was built specifically for surf charter.

THE SKIPPER - Steve Bridge was born in England, raised in Australia, and has since spent his time between California, Indonesia, and Oz. He has operated four different surf charter boats in Indonesian waters during the last twenty years. Two of these he built himself.

His friends speak very highly of him too:

"My guru in surfing tourism industry"



"Sad news mate...charlie was a legend...[DISAPPOINTED FACE]"



"Yes, he is a legend
He taught me a lot to be what I am now ..."



"For sure mate!i remember in 1999 or 2000 i think,we in Logkna...i had malaria,really sick...all the streets were flooded...he stayed in the hospital,on the room floor with me..also somehow got me on a flight out of banda back to medan to a better hospital...absolute legend..never forget that!RIP charlie..[PERSON WITH FOLDED HANDS]"



His best friend and business partner said these things about him about him:

"Best friend business partner Charlie Harris passed away yesterday. Will be truly missed by all close to him. RIP. Brother."



"He was dealing with depression"



"He had been dealing with depression for a while."



"Yea im on my way back to phuket today to meet with his wife n kids. To try to figure out the future"



And other kind words from several other of his friends:



"Really can't think Charlie has passed away was he ill Steve? Had some Awesome memories with u and Charlie a great mate and a all out good guy. RIP mate"



"RIP Charlie best surf trip in 2000 Mentawai,s ,Simelue, Banyaks, Asu,Teabags,Phuket start of high season hahaha good times with Charlie Harris,Brad Blurter,Greg,& you Steve on Bohemian :v"



"Heavy mate what happened he was fine when I saw him a couple months ago !!
So sorry to hear that mate !!!"



Very sad about what happened, but his best friend and business partner, Steve, seems to be a really good dude, even looking after Charlie's widow and 2 children. Charlie was lucky to have such goods friend, too, even several even call a "legend."

Rest in Peace
