Hi
Thanks for the information, some Bahamian friends of mine mentioned that the Calypso has already been towed in to Nasua harbour for a face lift, I'm glad Carnival saw the importance of restoring her for every one to visit.

It seems that its not over until it's over. This article suggests that maybe the Calypso has not made it to the Bahamas yet? I think I would trust the first hand account over the media but I don't know? www.expatica.com/source/site_article.asp?subchannel_id=58&story_id=14706&name=Rescue+plan+for+Cousteau's+Calypso+hits+a+snag The more people I talk to who worked with Cousteau and his various family members the weirder the story becomes. It is really a heartbreaking thing to talk to people who dedicated their lives to the Cousteau vision only to have the legacy destroyed by family feuding. One day the stories will come out. I know of at least one book that is a first hand account of life on the Calypso that is sitting on the shelves and will go unpublished for now. I hope it makes it to print one day. I do hope to eventually make the stories equipment and first hand accounts that I have collected available. I am waiting for a green light from Francine Cousteau who owns all the rights to the Cousteau name. I have begun written correspondence in hopes of reaching an arrangement. The groundwork has been done. We will see. -Ryan |

Hi Ryan
Yes! families do sometimes get in the way, I was at the Cousteau society web site and there anouncing that a an agrement has been reached, I don't know if its just to save face or not but I hope there is some truthe in it and just a media spooth.
