    I remember Doris's in Jamacia. There was also one in Antwerp. Did my last trip there. Guess I must have been a good custoner as she gave me a set of Serento blankets as a weeding gift.
    Was so p***ed I left them behing. One of my shipmates told the wife. She still hasn't forgiven me.

    Default Myrtle Bank

    Swimming and dancing at the Myrtle Bank,? Blyme a bit posh for me, I can remember Mr Bruce i think he was known as super cargo?, his wife Doris lent three of us her car and a driver to go to White Horse Beach, and the Super Cargo would be with us and his dockers while loading at some of the out ports.

    i remembr doris's bar in las palmas very well. she used to charge double the price of drinks to what they charged iin town. also remember a night club called the red rooster where you could change any currency and get a very good rate. the gitls were very clean too. a great little club. alf
