SAN JUAN When the State of Maine first sighted land after leaving Castine, the boys were ready to hit the beach. The weather was warm and so was the blood. San juan, Puerto Rico, an ideal port for this time of year, was familiar to some who had been here on a previous cruise, but we all wanted to find out for ourselves about those line white beaches, luxury hotels, and the city itself. We saw much of the Caribe Hilton and the San Juan Sheraton's beaches, pools, and other facilities - and those bathing suits the girls wore, WOW! At night the boys turned back to town for less expensive entertainment. Many went almost all the way back to the ship - to a couple of establish- ments calculatedly close to the docks. The steel band at the La Riviera Club was very fine! The Mayoress has a party every time the boys pull in, and this time was no exception. She knows what the Middies like. And on my right Charles Fatless, who holds no title at all. - Krupski, Owens Why don't you go for a swim? - Duify, Kortlucke Say isn't that Broderick Crawford? - Lie-Nielsen, Robinson, Mitchell, Richter, r Newton Who is tougher, me or the Mustang? -f Newbegin 172

PANAMA Fresh from San Juan, the Ancon once again returned to Cristobal. After a short stop for some black oill' we made it for the other end of the canal. At this time some of us expressed a wish to sign on the Hope which was also in transit. It seems the food was much better on the Hope. After a night transit we docked at Rodman Naval Station, Balboa. Since it was a duty free port, it Was the place to do the big buying. Many bought radios and tape recordersg Of course there were the ever present tours and basketball games. Due to the political unrest in Panama, we had to be back in the American sector at 2000 so the largest attraction was the Rodman E.M. Club. As usual after three days, everyone was more than ready to see what the West Coast of South America held, so we were oil for Val- paraiso in a cloud of smoke Cblackl. f Xa, L8-Z Cruise Team 1 wish l'd brought my gold sneakers -- Higgins 'gf so 'Y . r -. ., , .-., . r. ....'
