I remember Captain Aldiss from a cruise I took from Auckland as a 15 year old on the Kuala Lumpur in about 1966 during the school holidays.
The school kids were on bunks in the forward hold with regular cruise passengers in the rest of the ship. We thought Captain Aldiss was a really great guy . I remember him relaxing cross legged on Anse Vata beach Noumea with a straw hat on and I think a pipe . A kind of seafaring Robinson Crusoe . We thought that was pretty "cool".

He will live on in our hearts & the memories of those happy times.
