I was too young to drink but I once took Joyce Grenfell for a morning of sea fishing when staying in a pub in Ireland. In the 70s before marinas were everywhere in the Med, we were often moored stern to on a public quay so had some interesting neighbours, one I remember who stopped for a chat was Juan Carlos in Andraitx before he became King of Spain, his father was also living on board his boat on the same pontoon as us when we had a one year mooring in the Club de Mar in Palma which cost £300 back then in 1979. All very different now sadly.
