Is that you, Charlie Dawson? Your act was the most enjoyable memory I have of Stardancer. You and I and the ship's doctor used to converse during your breaks. It was September 1987. I was misemployed as 'computer purser'. (I was a dBase programmer, and it turned out what they really wanted was a hardware technician. [story of my seagoing life for the ensuing nine years. Only time I gelled was when I was paired with a programmer.])

 

Remember that hotel in Haines whose bartender created a cocktail he named a 'Duck Fart'?

 

 

Tried to send you a message but I'm not doing very well navigating this system ... Yes, this is Charlie Dawson ...  Those were great days ... I live in Massachusetts as well .. :-)   Don't know if you'll ever get this, but here goes ...

I also remember hitting the whale off Cabo. It stuck on the bulbus bow and we carried it across the sea of Cotez before discovering it stuck in the morning. I felt terrible. Anyone remember the swimming in Tracy Arm in survival suits? Oh the memories....my kids look at the photo books and can't even fathom the lifestyle......

Yes, I was on that cruise ... the officer on duty felt really bad ... I remember that we couldn't dock in PV and had to back out to sea so they could get the whale off the ship ... I must know you ...
