The man in the middle was related and worked wae 'The Brothers' and the skipper owner on the right, stayed at Portrigh. His last boat was built as the Wistaria and renamed after his wife and daughter!

[Bitter End]

Ahm thinkin thet the wan in the middle wid hae bin the "uncle " o the titled wan ; an tither name o the boat wis the Shemaron an thet names the ither -- a great picture altogither! ( cuild be wrang tho!!!!! )

Aye Bitter, you're part of the way there now with the Shemaron, but you're thinking of the wrong firm of brothers. Related right enough, as only the old Carradalonians could be!

[Bitter End]

Och Bitter Fender, your getting a bit of a mashing now, but your still knot quite hitting the spot. Away back and check your meter paper and glance into the fish loop. If that doesna work, feel the wire or walk up the shore, and you'll find another wee clue.

I'm afraid that Big Boab's 'Sugar' clue was a red-herring!

[Big Bob]
