Let this (top 2
pictures) be pictorial proof that I prior to the Eclipse, as I
stated repeatedly, I was never worried about the weather, even after
cruising through a minor cold rainfall. I expressed confidence in
the Captain on a ship's tape interview of me. He had the equipment
and he was holding a straight line at about 25 knots. He knew
something. I never saw the video tape, but my "deck neighbors" told
me I was edited out because I made too much sense. I took it as a
compliment. |

What is not
seen. About 20 minutes prior to first contact, Steve Swayze
discovered that his Telescope would not focus with a camera. In
classic last second Steve style, he had not rehearsed or tested his
newly completed clever 8 inch Telescope until moments before first
contact. He greeted me on a ship stairway with a "WHERE'S MEL?" I
told I though Mel had spacers that would solve his problem. Mel
did. I would pay $100 for the picture of Steve's 8 inch Telescope
spread out on the deck'svping pong table. Steve did manage to get
some excellent pictures.
