Splinter and her friends frequently dropped by whilst we were training. Our hospitality was faultless as they never lacked for attention. I Gde Barata, Gli Graham and Lloyd (Log) Kenny found that they were available on this occasion. Loggie has his Blue Book under his arm. The Blue Book was the ever ready reference book on all subjects concerning surf lifesaving.
Mark (Coco) Crampton had deduced by this stage that Splinter was disinterested in him. Not that he minded, having made the acquaintance of a rather stunning German girl named Ziggy. Miss Ziggy could have told us that she was the reigning Miss Bikini Bavaria and we would have unquestioningly believed her. Coco looked rather smug for the rest of the tour and was often inexplicably absent.
Guri (Gookie) Lluka had also met a German girl. Whilst Gookie was getting to know her under a coconut palm she began squirming and squealing. "What's up?" asks the perplexed Gookie. "Vants!" came the frantic reply. "Vants? What's vants?" Gookie soon found out when he discovered that he had crawling, biting and stinging ants in his pants. Gookie quickly was on his feet running for the surf bellowing "Flamin' vants!" at the top of his lungs. Years later we were still tormenting him about the "Vants!"
