tribute service on Sunday.

Brothers Randy (Scorcher) Outerbridge and Jeffrey (Jakes) Outerbridge and their friend Geaige Minks left on a fishing trip on January 26, and have not been seen since.

Their boat Simply Red was discovered 24 days after they left Riddell's Bay in reasonable weather. The next few days brought storms and rough seas around the Island.

A massive air and sea search involving Bermudian and US personnel failed to find the boat. The 21-foot Cutty Cabin was finally discovered 50 miles off the Island by a yacht heading for the Mediterranean. No survivors were found.

Police examined the Simply Red for any clues as to what may have happened to the men but nothing was discovered.

The families have remained hopeful that, by some miracle, they would receive news that the men had been found.

Mr. Custerfield Crockwell, the Outerbridge brothers' uncle, has acted as a spokesman for the families since the tragedy.

Mr. Crockwell said the tribute to the three boys would take place at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, in Southampton, on Sunday, between 2 and 4 p.m.

Everyone is welcome to attend the service and the family have asked that the congregation do not wear "mourning clothes''.
