So out of curiosity, what was the dolphin ceremony like in those years?                        

I think Larry kinda hit a home run.

So...I think I may have un-earthed the only known picture of Ken and Pete, I believe they are discussing coast guard approved parts here..
However, I am unsure who is who...I have some clues but they could go either way...
The mate-he was a mighty sailor man could be either...
The skipper- brave and sure. Again could be either...

75 Tique is Larry

79 was almost but not quite Keno but without the good humor gene.

Remember table 1 in the cafeteria, the one where the cool kids sat. Back in the day, they got in there and mixed it up with the rest of us. These days, doesnt seem like quite so much. Just an observation. But it seems a lot goes on "behind the scenes" these days. Things we used to see on here and enjoyed seeing or learning from, but dont show up any more. That part is too bad. Again, just an observation. I guess time passes. Kind of sad to have to go over to Facebook   (not my favorite retreat) CC page to get some of that banter back. Plus, over at the FB CC page, although the posters know an awful lot, most of it is cringe-worthy wrong.

Speaking only for myself some conversation has moved out of forums and into text messages/facebooks/instagramers or whatever because of changing technologies and ease of posting/sharing photos from mobile devices.   While photos continue to get easier to take and share from mobile devices the opposite has happened on forums. The failure of hosting companies like photo bucket from monetizing photos posted on forums has lead this forum and most others to need to upload what are smaller sized , edited photos from something like a computer. I am certainly not gonna spend the extra time to upload a lessor quality photo most of the time, and frankly I aint even got one of them there computer thingys so if I can't post a high quality pic directly from my phone it aint gonna happen.. Posts without pictures just don't attract the daily traffic. Of course instagram or facebook is no place to get a real answer - anytime I have answered someones question on one of those forums 102 people chime in to give a somewhat lesser researched opinion.   

Also we have already settled some of the early mysteries of these boats that used to fuel conversations that lasted entire off seasons with no definitive conclusion until it came time show up and run what ya brung... now the same question comes up and it is pretty easily answered with a link to an earlier thread.

Mehh..
I love seeing these guys scab together and fix stuff decades old like it was a barn kept Buick. Boggles my mind as a salt water guy.
This is the only boat place I visit that corrosion related failure isn't the #1 topic. And that I find extremely refreshing.
Wait... did he just say he fixed an exhaust manifold? Noo waaayyyy!! This guy is NUTS!
Pure entertainment for me.
Ohh and the professor deserves his own thread.
