22ND MAY-26TH MAY Palma, which lies off the coast of Spain on the island of Majorca, is a city of 140,000 people, the most prevalant being tourists and beautiful women. The city seemed to be split up into two definite sectors; one, consisting of colorful old Spain, and the other, of a miniature Miami Beach. The first few days the crew spent enjoying the quaint city with its beautiful cathedral, old cars and motorbikes, horse drawn carriages and above all, Spanish dancers. Many never mastered the art of navigating the one way sidewalks. Several went on a tour that visited the Monastery with the apartments of Frederick Chopin and George Sand, and finished with an exhibition of Spanish folk- dancing. Sailors could be seen swimming at the pool and dancing under the stars at the Victoria Hotel; and enjoying all the comforts of New York night clubs in Spain. The bars seemed to do a rushing business, possibly because most of the bartenders were of the opposite sex. Many friends were made in this international vacation land and everyone seemed a bit sorry that on May 26th we had to leave Palma.

29TH MAY - 30TH MAY 11TH JULY- 16TH JULY Piraeus, the gateway to Athens, saw few Yankee Oolla as almost everyone ventured forth to the center of our western civilization. Athens was surely a cameraman ' s paradise as was John Bull ' s a man ' s paradise. The splendored ruins, the Palace guards, and the almost forgotten modern car became a source of amazement to everyone. Soon Athens became a memory and as was our custom, we headed for the open seas on the holiday; Memorial Day. The Hancock Odyssey called for a return to the Aegean where for three days we exercised with units of the Royal Hellenic Navy. And the Greeks spake winged words to them saying ' Peegment Eediom theese ees Amphora Omega. ' In addition to a return visit to pleasant but expensive Athens, we got to see a part of the hinterland in pretty little Spetsai Island.
