After seeing Gahoendoe's video of Christain Island, I learned a whole bunch of things I hadn't know before, both about the song and also the place/island.
So my questions for this morning are
A) Is there really a ship/boat named Silver Heels?
B) Did/Does it belong to Gord?
After "researching" a bit on this topic, I have one more place I want to visit on my trip to Canada!
(Note: my trip to Canada is more in the form of fantasy and reality at this point, but one must have a dream!)

There may well be a boat called SilverHeels but it does not belong to Gord, as far as I know.
As soon as I win the Lotto, it will belong to me :D

Annie quoted much detail about one of Gord's boats in that topic The "Golden Goose"
which I recall also it cropped up in another topic and I replied with a rear end view of this vessel

That picture caused some consternation because it shows not only the rear view of the yacht but also one of the crew members who appears to be a Scotsman who has lost both his kilt and his trewsers!!!
(but of course not his underpants because as a bekilted Scotsman once memorably demonstrated to me he could then lift his kilt to prove that
"everything was in perfect working order")
