The chef was Joe Chantre......... Famous for his Christmas cooking
i he used to stay out the north road, is he still sailing, no seen him in years, was he no on one o the tugs that went to help the tanker braer when she went ashore loaded with 84,500tons o crude oil here in shetland
Last i heard he was skipper on one of the Caledonian boats working for BP
Yes he was mate on the Star Spica when we chased the Braer in vain.
Worst weather in years when we left Lerwick to try and get a line on her.
But they had taken everybody off and by then and by the time they got back it was too late. The rest is history.
We had to go home on the Claire as the airlines were all booked up with journalists and TV crews. Happy days
