Hachman C.D. 1965 Journal 30 February 5 Bali Island both hands in the water filled up. Fortunately, no one was hurt in this episode - at least not seriously. I lost skin off of [illegible], garbled another and got a big bruise and cut on my right knee. Everyone picked up a bruise or two along with a few scratches here and there. The proto took the most beating of all because it lost its core and was half filled with sand. Needless to say it wouldn't float. We loaded the boat back up and then waited and watched the surf very carefully this time. We passed up several short calms but finally found one during which we were able to paddle out passed the surf line and out of danger. In the meantime the ship launched the other raft which came in and gave us a tour. Shortly after coming on board the ship began its initiation for the equator crossing. Max hadn't planned on going through but made the mistake of going down to take pictures - he went through first and got off easy. Ralph went through third or fourth. The ship gave a very easy initiation - nothing elaborate such as the Lakelma or the Ripan on the second cruise.
