After 37 and a half years Harry Fearman unships the anchor.

From Annie:

 He  kept it a total secret, the crew only knew on the last trip back to Hornby. I would have told you if I had been allowed. Aileen took the pictures. 

Great Crew (except, of course, Al’s jokes)

Guest photographer Aileen Fearman

Thanks Harry for all those safe passages and for being such an easy going guy. The ferry is a natural extension of island life so thanks for making it a fun and friendly space.

Happy Retirement.

  6. Well it ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
    If you don’t know by now
    It ain’t no use to sit and wonder why, babe
    It’ll never do, some-how
    When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
    Look out your window and I’ll be gone
    You’re the reason I’m travelin’ on
    But don’t think twice, it’s all right

    Enjoy your new life Harry – It has been great having you as our Captain.

  7. i believe i speak for a large number of people when
    i say i am outraged and beside myself to discover after all these years that our lives and personal safety had been entrusted to a Deadhead.
