After 45 years as Medusa’s skipper, Mike Boyce decided it was time to retire and command was handed to Alan Watson who has been First Officer for 15 years.
Without a lifetime’s dedication from Mike (and a lifetime’s tolerance from Pam his wife) Medusa would not be around today. To wish Mike well, the crew organised a send off which involved a great deal of Rum.
