...studied both drama and finance, the younger Spyros expects to achieve even greater revenues with new vessels of a type called LASH (for lighter aboard ship). LASH ships will carry cargo prepacked in 73 barges or lighters, which can be dropped off and picked up in each port; the ships themselves need not even dock. Because LASH ships will spend much less time in port than conventional vessels, the Skourases figure that they will be perhaps three times as productive as ordinary ships...

Keeping it afloat is a moronic purser (Larry Storch), whose schemes, like catering bar mitzvahs in port, are always being thwarted by the prissy first officer (Billy De Wolfe).

During his stopovers at various ports, Eddy estimates that he met an "international community" of more than a hundred people sailing their boats around the world. In the port of Durban, South Africa, he docked with 15 other globe-girdling boats. The varied squadron included a 38-ft. ketch out of San Diego sailed by Photographer Fred Davenport, his wife and 10-year-old daughter Circe; a 24-ft. sloop captained by Robin Lee Graham, a Honolulu teenager who is making the voyage alone...
