Yes, apart from Paul for persevering with making sure it actually got to the North Sea and did not sail into Margate after the balloons. I agree about the presentation. Be honest most normal yanks would have thought like Hot Hits John RRA RIP Gee whiz is the is the boat that's going to take us out to the radio station or probably would have not wanted a second tour of duty. Then again I guess it was the Grand European adventure but they were all very pro in the conditions right to the end. I can't think of any who were mediocre even if they were drinking boiled brine

After initial frostiness the camaraderie and excitement of being neighbours to the worlds most famous mass audience album radio station must have helped. If the financial situation had been better I don't doubt many would have defected across the road as many were openly awestruck at the magnificently stable Ross Revenge organisation, her skyscraping mast, her well stocked larder and her extensive library of easy going long playing records. Roan, Tom and the 2 ship based Peters were certainly all for it. It was just the thorny problem of 10c on the dollar
