So, after that sojurn to Puerto Rico, which still needs to find it's proper time frame, we are back in St. Thomas. Back on the radio at WAH.
Some people really had a hard time with the radio communications and just couldn't master the press and release. They would cut people off or talk over them and it took a great deal of patience to get them to properly use the radio. One gentleman in particular was really having difficulty. He was often conducting business so it was very frustrating for him. I spent a lot of time making sure that everything was understood on both sides of the conversations. One day, after a particularly trying call, a man came in and delivered chocolates and flowers. He was one of the crew from the boat that belonged to the radio challenged owner. He thanked me profusely and said that his boss would really like to meet me. So it was that we found ourselves on an 83' yacht, waving to the Mellons on their yacht and coming to terms with the fact that my husband was now the captain and I was part of the crew. The yacht was out of Maine and Palm Beach and the owner was Sprague Coal and Oil and Sprague Steamship Lines and who knows how many other businesses. And so it was, job number five.
