A warm welcome to another page of memories from those days of  freedom from the North Sea, please enjoy these wonderful Maritime Memories......................
Remember those hot days in the mid 70s when Caroline was on and off  all the time.  The time when the Mi Amigo had more bodging on its hull than a Reliant Robin has fibreglass.  Little bits of wood keeping the water out of the bilges, keeping that wonderful free radio dream alive.  Well even if you can't remember here is another chance to hear when the Mi Amigo nearly sank (1977).  According to The Sun this was her final wave, her last voyage.  Well after this and  many other near catastophies she finally met her watery end in 1980.  The Ross Revenge took over her spot in the North Sea in 1983.
BELOW ARE FOUR AUDIOFILES GIVING YOU AN IDEA WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR THE DJs
MI AMIGO ONE
MI AMIGO TWO
MI AMIGO THREE
MI AMIGO FOUR
In the same year as the above events Caroline celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Marine Offences Act.  There was a link between the Mi Amigo and the Centre Airport Hotel, the link was a transmitter somewhere on land relaying highlights from it.  I think it was then edited in some way for transmission on board  the Mi Amigo, then I taped it.

Here is an Aussie Jock on Caroline 558 in 1989 by the name of Phillip John (whom I have mentioned before) talking over J'taime moi non plus by Mr Gainsburgh and Miss Birkin it's quite funny really.
Here is another piece of ferro tape history, Mr Alan West on RNI in 1970.  He later went on to be the first voice heard on Picadilly Radio in Manchester in 1974, his last station was I think PIRATE FM in Cornwall (a legal ILR station)
This is a rather naff recording of the Dutch Service on 819Khz aboard the Ross Revenge in 1989.
This is a clip of Radio Mi Amigo doing a programme for Radio Veronica in 1974.
