13/08/2007: "KOMODO STARFISH (1981) ...... Lindblad Explorer trip"

The above text by journalist and friend Ben Mitchell writing in People magazine. Times have since changed.

The unusual starfish seems to have impressed the Italian lady - she did not speak English so we can only assume what her thoughts may have been.

The Swedish-owned ship was a legendary in its day. This is a sequence from my motion picture film Sea Safari a feature length documentary released in 1984, on video in Australia, showing the beautiful coral reef surrounding Komodo, Indonesia.

Several giant Komodo Dragon feeding on a goat are shown, a set-up for tourists and since banned.


Footnote: Renamed as EXPLORER she sank after hitting an iceberg in Antarctica on 23 Nov 2007.
