    I'm sure Andy still had her the first year I was in Oban with the old man on the Kittiwake George,that was either 67 or 68. Helluva nice man Andy,a right decent lad.
    I Ronnie he was a nice fellow he got a very sad end not long after we bought her.
    The wheelhouse you are seeing would be the niels risager bob miller he was in crinan a lot
    at that time
