This first pic :laughing3: might be a bit of a giveaway, shows Chippy Ned :wine: and his better half Ellen :cocktail: getting stuck into something chilled and sugar/ salt encrusted, but it
....................................................................... was [-X definitely not taken in their loungeroom at home... [-(

Facebook posts revealed they're in fact getting stuck into a few :wine: pre-sailing cocktails :cocktail: in one of the many lounge bars :tchin: aboard the Royal Princess... :omg1:

Image

=; In fact the pair are but two of a party of sixteen in all, made up of 13th MOBI Intake Artificers and their respective wives, girlfriends and two of our much loved widows...

Image
Of course, getting them all together for a group photo op prior to departure is worse than herding :blackcat: :cat1: :blackcat: cats, the photo above :laughing3: at least captured half of them...

L-R: Paulette Dunlop (widow of Bob 'Kip' Dunlop,) sharing with Denise Cocks, (widow of Chippy Bruce Cocks,) behind her in the hat, Pete Williamson, then Helen Williamson,
Les and Karen Handicott, Terry and Lorraine Gunton... =; (Not present, Shang and Marlene Moffitt, Tim Baker and Brig, Bruce and Chris Chalmers, Ned and Ellen Kelly...)

I'd actually travelled down from the NSW Central Coast by train with Denice Cocks, and Bruce and Chris Chalmers with a view to catching up with a couple of '13th Intakers'
I'd not seen in a long while before they sailed, but unfortunately, they'd already boarded the ship by the time we arrived at Circular Quay and proved to be uncontactable..! :mobile:

Image
As nobody was going to come ashore once embarked, there was no point in hanging around, so this :laughing3: pic was taken from the ferry I caught en route to Barangaroo and home...

To compete my 'cruise collection', Ned and Ellen successfully herded all 16 of our :blackcat: 'cruisin' :cat1: cats' :blackcat: in the one place at the same time for a roll call :happy3: and I.D. check... :evil3: Thanks Ellen... :notworthy:

................................................ L to R (back row, standing): :occasion4: :occasion7: boy, Pete Williamson, Terry Gunton, and on the rails, John Kelly and Greg Moffitt...
....................................................L to R (middle row, seated): Helen Williamson, Karen Handicott, Brigid Butt, Tim Baker, Bruce Chalmers and Les Handicott...

Those blokes, are so old but the girls are looking great, although I don't recognise the "sheila" on the right, the one Ned's hanging off. :sheeesh: :mock: :mock:
