    Default crossed the bar

    Just a message to let old shipmates of Davy Lang know that sadly he crossed the bar in June 2009.
    He was an electrician with Shaw Saville, NZSC and B.I. He finished his days at sea on the North Sea oil rigs.
    I kept in touch with him since we sailed together in the 1960's on the MV Rakaia.
    Great bloke and great times
