willie jappys son was on holiday cant mind was it in wales and on going to the harbour came across either the silver star or cloud there tony

its surprising when you go to a lot of that harbours today keiss staxigoe and the rest that these boats were able to use them right enough they were shallower drafted but it still amazes me
num had the golden eagle tied up in staxigoe but then again that was once one of the busiest ports at one time tony
.Orger
Tony that would be the Silver Star which went to Beaumaris The Silver Cloud (WK147)was sold to MacDuff
Aye it really makes you wonder with these smaller harbours I know the Godetia went into Sandside on at least one occasion

yes that will be it peter bill wiseman was from the east coast but was nums brother in law
wiseman was sea sick every monday morning when they left the key heads and that was it over for the week
you must have somme almanac years ago i seem to mind a moores almanacbut think it was for tides moon etc which they had to go by in olden times
they used to say high water in wick was 12 o clock full and change and that coincided with portsmouth or there abouts tony

Tony Yes Ive a couple of Olsens almanacs but I have a lot of bitties of paper Ive written down over the years (which I need to get sorted out) and get bits from the internet as well . If I mind right Bill Wiseman came from Gamrie and as you say he was Roberts brother in law ,along with Archie Miller that had the Spindrift (on Megs side)
Walters Juicy Medicine :-)))))
