I was just going along today and a memory hit me.. I was crewing on the 3 masted barquentine, California, and we were headed around the world, but couldn't get started becasue there was so much to do! We were tied up at 22nd street yacht Landing in San Pedro, and Humphrey Bogart's boat, Santana, was tied up just opposite us. One sunday afternoon, they pulled in after a weekend in Catalina, and as Mr B. started down the dock i said, "Oh! Please sir! Can I take your pix? Showing him the camera in hand. He grumbled and then finally said, Well, OK! I said, "smile" and shot him im the face with a stream of water from my trick camera. He was shocked, and then guffawed loudly, gave me a big hug, and chuckled off down the dock! Ah! Youth!
