Oriana & Orsova passing mid
Pacific between Suva & Honolulu 1966. The boys are gathering to view
the "Great Lady of the Sea". If you look carefully you can just
see her on the horizon centre shot.

There
she goes, off into the sunset. I was just 13 at the time with not a clue
that my life would be irrevocably changed by this beauty.
I
loved these guys, not these people specifically, but all the Goanese crew.
They were so happy to be there, so helpful, they did an excellent job and
they taught me the delights of Indian food and that is something I shall
remain eternally grateful as it's now the last remaining guiltless
pleasure in my life.
