How the Mi Amigo lasted as long as she did no one really knows.
There are some photos of her with rust holes out there on the web that are seriously scary. None the less, for many who worked on Caroline the Mi Amigo was very special and she will always be remembered for being the home to Caroline in August 1967 when she sailed alone into the unknown world of taking on governments and continuing when most didn’t believe she could. Finally it wasn’t governments that claimed her but the sea herself. Thankfully no lives were lost!

Above the Ross sadly silent in 1989 at Falls Head and below chained up in Dover after being rescued off Goodwin Sands, never been succesfully done before we are told!. The end of the Offshore era though it seems. Thanks to Johnny Lewis for permission to use these excellent shots.
