Peter Damon shared these photos from '75 and '77. The first and second Neptune picture has Peter Damon shaving, with a dull sword white lead and linseed oil, Bob Wallace and myself strapped to a hatch cover - first crossing at the Galapogos. The third picture has Dr Mary Robertson and Peter Degman kneeling before Susan Morely, King Dan Moreland, Paul Skagfeld, with Tad Donnon just showing top right - second crossing off Papua New Guinea. The third picture is Holloween 76 between Cocos Keeling on the way to the Seychelles, Bob Wallaces back to camera, Skipper at the helm, Peter Damon on quarter rail watch, Tad Donnon as an asian brothel owner, Dan Moreland as a rich arabian sheik, Sue Morely as who knows what, and Paul Skagfeld as Castro.
These, attached photos are, what I think, halloween pictures. 1975 was cold coming into Cocos island from Panama,
and Harvey's on board - next to Long Jon Bilhuber below Dan's white bikini top - picture 1a! .
In 1976, the second set of pictures, we would have been about ten days out of the Seycelles from the Cocos Keelings.
The Stuns'ls might have been stowed by then.
If I've got these pictures confused with other costume events during our voyage please feel free to chime in.
Do you remember Harvey's last name? Dr. Mary Robertson from South Africa and Peter Degman, last address was Illinois. In picture 10, there was Tad Donnan - standing, first mate Dan Moreland, Paul Skagfeld, Bob Wallace, and sail maker Jim Brink, as well as Sue Morley - not in picture 10, but can see her in 10a. In the other pictures there was Carolyn Potts on council with Peter Damon and Skip, Chef Bruce Fischer in the yellow shirt. Mary, Clean, Tysver is washing herself in the salt water barrel. Bob Wallace and I are strapped to the grating getting shaved.
All were three sheets to the wind after Marlin Spikes, which you all know is a little Tang coloring added to the foredeck cask 151 Barbadian rum! Probably just before the barrels hoops slipped sending the remaining rum to the lee scupper where we'd just gutted a shark hours before and of course where we all dove to slurp what we could before all was lost to the sea!! |
