First port of call






                                                 Ernakulam wharf in port of Cochin


From Colombo the ship went to Cochin. Cochin was a port in the west coast of India and is in the State of Kerala. On the second day the Radio Officer, Michael Rodriguese and the third engineer, Lloyd Pinto took me out. Both of them were originally from Goa, India. They went into a restaurant where there was live music. It was quite a nice place, I must admit. They had quite a lot of drinks and I kept them company with a bottle of beer. Music was good but there were no partners to dance with. We returned to the ship well past midnight. It was the only day that I got shore leave and the ship was there about six to seven days.
From Cochin we went to Aden and from there to Djibouti.
