Backsplice, I did my first trip with "Whammy", he was a prankster of the first order and I have written about him in my thread "Hullo Old Home " on this site. There are a few characters in there that you might recognise too. I believe he fell in the dry dock and drowned ,I don't know if that is true because I heard it as scuttlebutt a few years after I left Blueys,
