Well can honestly say i never had a DR entry in my Discharge Book!
Although i was not squeky clean (like many others) got away with quite a few naughty things! Luck!!

I only went as far as Panama a few times and Aruba, missed out on South America, having read the posts on here I feel a little glad I did.

How I ever got away with out at least on DR in my book is a mystery!!
I worked very hard to get one but none of the skippers I sailed with were prepared to accept my challenge it appears.

My memories of BA are that a Double DR was the least of your problems. The local Cops were brutal and armed to the teeth

[Michael Jobson]

Buenos Aires was a beautiful place, along with the ladies. I could have married a rancher's daughter down there, but we had to shift ship one evening and we lost touch. In view of what happened in 1982 probably just well. Otherwise I might have ended up in a tin of Fray Bentos...

#6 ..The Vigilantes the nearest thing to the Nazi Gestapo as one is likely to get , the dock police the Marineros although not so fearsome looking in their matelot suits were probably just as brutal. JS

Happy memories of Bs As in the late 60's, although Dock Sud was not one of the prettiest of places.

Never got done over but did go ashore always with a couple of $ Dollar bills in my socks under my instep just in case!

Further up the river to Rosario and further were interesting trips.

I was there in 1959, on the St Merriel, loaded full cargo of corned beef, also went up to Rosario the following trip, fortunately never had any trouble. We signed on in BA a british guy as DHU, he had been living in BA for many years and spoke perfect lingo, so he was useful mud pilot ashore in the bars. I enjoyed my time there.
