He got promoted to Master in mid 67 and went off from his socialising job back to the real world. Andy.

Andy Waddy was J. T .Waddelton. I was Third Mate with him in the Sydney in 69/70 and Second mate in the Glasgow[ Ottawa ] in71 when she was renamed.. When I was with him in the Sydney hated his guts.In the Ottawa was starting to see where he came from. Would have loved to sail with him as Mate.When I was Second Mate in the Ottawa with George Salter he came down to the Mates cabin with a copy of a letterhe had sent too London about ships management meeting. Will not go into detail but it was on your bike . The Second Mate and Third Mate have too much work to do than to do what you want them to do. he did say " your masters Tick may be stowed in your drawer under you sox and under pants but my Officers Tickets are important to them so they willl not do these extra duties.
