Rembering Noumea

       'Did you go to  Noumea,   New Caledonia for a purpose other than recreation?"  My brother Jon surprised me with this question because the history of our ship,  the  Pickens, says  we went to get some material and bring it back to Saipan.  Whatever,  it was a deserved few weeks of recreation. 

Jon said I bought a knife in Noumea, something I did not remember. He said we were fishing on Dorcheat  Bayou when I dropped  a knife and said "There goes the knife I bought in Noumea.'  I do not remember that although I  clearly remember   acting the agent to buy an Eiesonhower jacket for a British seaman.
