Was he the same Davie Irvine who was the skipper of the Bank Boat, 'Otterbank'?

Yes, he is the same man.

Davie was an extremely pleasant individual with an equally pleasant personality who never had a bad word to say about anyone. Many thanks for your confirmation, Allan. I am very sorry to learn Davie is no longer with us as I recall many happy times with him and Willie Groat on the 'Otterbank' which, I understand, sadly, lies in a very impoverished state on Hatston slip.
