Hi Vern, I dont know how too get it off that site as it was posted by an old shipmate and I came across it by chance, a bit of a suprize, but there are many pics of my butt out there as a lot wanted a pic , in fact I got barred out of the market diner for dropping pants Ha, Ha,

By the way the story goes like this Me and a mate were talking of getting eyes on our a#sre, and the bartender ray in the ward room heard us and said if you do come back and show me and you can drink all the beer you want till you sail free, we coudnt, pass that one up could we.

Hi Cookie,
I did the Max Wilson cruisers on the Britain,he was South African if I remember rightly he called it Pied Piper Cruisers.He wanted to bring cruising to the working man making cruising affordable to everyone.
CPR were glad he came along because the Western Ocean trade was just about on its last legs.
I did the first cruise it was a disaster for the passengers,1st port La Carunna Good Friday everywhere was closed 2nd port(in Spain cant remember name) Sunday samething nowhere open.Spain was not commercialised then as it is now. Next and only other port Tangier.the passengers had a meeting and complained regardig the itinerary so Max decided to give them a run ashore at Monte Carlo.
the last cruise I did I think was Palma,Ajaccio and Lisbon.The day we docked in Liverpool President
JFK was assinated.
