on a previous posted message, there was some uncertanty as to who the really good looking  sailor was. That sailor was a well chosen man that would become  a trusted aid to those who sailed the seas and needed the assistance of a careing helpful man to keep them safe from running into a rock or some other object that may endanger thier ship. This would be a man of great  integerity, that could stand watches through a stormy overcast night with high winds and rough seas to protect those who would be at the helm with an officer and a bow watch to assist him. This chosen coast guardsman  was truly a man that could guard the coast on his own. This is  a man that can make his own coffee. This is a man that on clear days can negosiate with sea gulls and have enough smarts to learn thier language so to be prepared for future strorms. Sea gulls can forsee the coming weather, which gives a good light house keeper a helping hand. [ there are those who never learn this ability]  Another  talent is being able to talk to mermaids, for they can give a good light keeper some information on tides that also can cause a problem to the lesser helmsman to navigate a bouy tender. Bouy Tenders are used to be a lighthouse keepers servant. The men aboard these tenders are like waiters or waitresses taking orders from the more chosen people that help them through the night.As you may have noticed,a lighthouse keeper need not be a good speller or punctuater.  If by chance you ever meet a bouy tender sailor, you may want to point that out to them. They would never see it by them selves.      

    If by now you haven't figured it out handsome guy is uncle Billy, and the ship in the back ground is the Tanney. The Tanney was later sent to the east coast where I once again went aboard to see a friend. As I left the ship  , all aboard thanked me and said please help us through the night. I therefore took  the responsability , and they were safe.

  If uncle Leo has any problem in understanding this true story , tell him I will explain the importance of the brave men that stood the watch that stormy night.
