I've just been looking through some of your pages on the old pirate stations & noticed a picture of Mike Craig in Leenderts Monique 2 & the Mike Bass Tribute I was good friends with Mike in Herne Bay around twenty five years ago but lost touch with him when I moved to the USA. Do you know of his whereabouts or how he is doing these days if you have any info I would appreciate it. Many Thanks.Chris Palmer
We've also lost contact with Mike if you've detail please email & we'll re-unite Chris & Mike

Thanks for your updates, I will look forward to them. I'm very interested in photos of female offshore presenters ...I love the one of Samantha, what a shame we lost her. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of Caroline's tenders along side the Mi Amigo/Ross Revenge and in harbours. I'm fascinated with fishing trawlers and harbours, last month I was on holiday at my favorite seaside town - Weymouth in Dorset, it was great chilling out on the harbour, looking at the trawlers, listening to great music on my cd walkman and catching live music around the habour pubs. Its a shame when Caroline people fall out and end up leaving the station, a few years ago I fell out with Malcolm over the way the Ross was not being used at all, but we have since patched things up, but I will always stand by my views that programmes should come from the Ross even if they are recorded, its only fair on the supporters who give their money to renovating the ship and the good people at the Northern repair group. Keep up the great work, cheers for now - Paul
