A memorable Chandris event for me was when I was asked to shoot some aerial pictures of the Romanza. I was instructed not to go if there was a 1% chance of a cloud in the sky because of the expense of renting a helicopter. The assignment put me under great stress. The big day arrived and I went to Athens airport only to be told that their helicopter had crashed! I rearranged it for the following week when they assured me they would have another one at my disposal. I worked out times and positions with the Captain and the event eventually went off really well except that the military man that accompanied us because aerial photography could be a security risk had to report the ship for leaving an oil trail and Chandris were fined $5000. It was a very expensive photo. I will dig out a copy and perhaps this will make another page for your site. And yes you've guessed it I have a picture of me in the helicopter hovering over the ship!

Myconos was a great place for the 3
and 4 day cruise ships to meet. This 1985 group picture would have
been taken just after the landing pictures and before we headed for the
Irish Bar. L to R Karling and Les Lupton, ColinHarkness, Barry and
