I remember screenshotting my first text exchange with Eddie Jordan back in 2014 and excitedly sending it to my parents. It was pretty prosaic stuff from my side, asking for a quick call to discuss a potential column idea in BOAT. His immediate response was very Eddie, repeated here verbatim: “Hi Stewart , sailing off Port Cros SoF , I screwed up with our planned call , I ’ll call tomz or Mon Ej”. He led a life of barely controlled chaos – but always made time for BOAT. As well as his column, he played with his band, the Robbers, at countless BOAT International parties, appeared in our video quizzes during the low Covid-19 years and never failed to make an introduction on our behalf. He knew everyone. If I needed to reach someone in F1, or music, or aboard some boat anchored off Monaco, he always made the link. “Tell them Eddie sent you,” he’d say. Over a decade we became friends; I met his family and he met mine – and he would always enquire after them. Even when he got sick, and through the fog of chemo, he’d pick up the phone and recount some amazing and often unrepeatable story about a scrape he’d gotten himself into and invariably out of.
He loved his “Lippy from the Liffey” column and constantly asked me to tell him if it was getting stale. That never happened because there was always another story. It made him seem eternal, which is why the news of his death hit me – and plenty of others – like a brick. It just doesn’t seem possible that Eddie is not out there, fizzing and sparking and causing mischief. We spoke every month but the last time I saw Eddie was during the Monaco Yacht Show. He was in Princess Grace hospital for another round of treatment and as I sat by his hospital bed, with everything he was going through, all he wanted to know was how the show was going and whether everything was OK at BOAT. He had a huge heart. To his amazing wife, Marie, and four children, Zoe, Miki, Zak and Kyle, we offer our deepest condolences. Fair winds, EJ.
