Yes Roy still live just outside York – Retired from the Sea in 2020 after being stuck onboard Sailing Around the World during Covid for 7 months – thought life was too short – work out well as most of the Officers in Northern Marine Tanker Fleet were Russians so now even more crewing problems.
Was one of the last Brits left standing in Tanker Fleet .
