    name of the boat? well theres a pic of a young cleanshaven hunter aboard her when she had the old wheelhouse on her, the skipper? auldest of the daltons, never the brightest but then his last surviving brother phoned me today to tell me he'd heard i was deid!!!, good job i answered the phone then says i, if i'd heard that story myself from elsewhere i might have got worried!!!!!
    Got fond memories of time among the Daltons. Will never forget Hank , prior to lifting at the podlies in the soond. "Right Doogie, gie her Trafalgar". Have used it a squillion times since, and never withoot a wee smile.
    How old is Douglas now Morris?

    he phoned me yesterday afternoon to get the latest, so we had a good blether, he was telling me his grandson  "young" young douglas, (third generation, no imagination) has just started work in oban as a bus driver, funny thing was the young fla's own father duggie had called in the morning and never mentioned it? both gave me a row for giving them a fright, must have heard i haven't a will? naw, that wid only give the wife a fright, the kids had already divvied up all my possesions, its taken me a week to get unrestricted access to my laptop. douglas is in fine trim for his age, once all his organs reached saturation level he stopped the juice,
