This here is Ben and Helen Applegate, they were at the conference to talk about the history of ships in YWAM.
Ben Applegate was the Captain for the Anastasis' maiden voyage, the ship where my parents met! My Mother was on the teaching staff of the ship and taught the Applegate's children. My father was the foreman of the deck crew where he worked for two years.
My father remembers Captain Ben as being a very funny man; in one instance the crew were informed that they could only boil food in their cabins due to fire hazards. A man then asked "What about popcorn? can we cook that?" to which Captain Ben promptly replied "Yes, if you like it boiled"!
