Thanks, Enrique, for this information.
I have just returned from a cottage vacation, myself, in the Muskoka region, and I was captivated by the story, the pictures, the camaraderie and the obvious sense of fun which the arrival of MV Esmeralda generated.
Congratulations to Captain Victor Zanelli on his command of such a beautiful ship, and here's wishing you a safe and very eventful voyage. (Next time, try to include
Congrats too, to everyone who was involved in the preparation for the visit to the ship and to the development of bonds of strong friendship between the Old Boys of MSB.

Hope all received photos well, I got doubles at times, careful some brothers may not be able to receive too much photos o.k.
Today we thank, and pay tribute, and honor, to two of our modern day Knights.
A Knight of the Seven Seas:-Our Brother, Captain Pipo Victor Zanelli.

With steel pan music in the air, a welcoming token from his friend from prep. Mr. Jimmy Samaroo.
The year is 2008, many boys have come forward, from all over the world to say, " I'M PROUD TO BE A
Congratulations goes out to the Mr. Winston Ramsahai and his committee, for their smooth handling of the event, in the short time they had, to make arrangements etc., and the brothers who volunteered, to make this memorable event possible.
Also thanks to the photography department, for the excellent photos, Brothers:- Oscar Cantore , Ian Gomes and
Comments:- Oscar, we know you were on the mount, you can't hide, how come you didn't tell Tim Healy, David Decastro, Trevor Evelyn or myself you were going to be up there.
We hope you not snooping around White Stones, as we did notice over the past few months, you've been asking a lot of questions about the " Chest", which is hidden on White Stones.
Also it was noted that while the Capt. of theEsmeralda , the Trusted Monk and the Dutch Monk who taught French, were having a private conversation on business of the knights, you were also hovering around.
Oscar we may have a few question for you.
Thanking all brothers for their time, and co-operation at all times,
Your brother till the end,
Glen McKoy,

Yes, all you MSB boys.
You may know that a Chilean military ship "Esmeralda" visited TNT for a 3 day stay.
Well the commander is an old MSB boy. (Victor Zanelli)
So he requested a small contingent of MSB old boys and the monks be invited to the function on board for diplomats.
So the embassy invited us.
I forgot my camera home for that one.
But on the following night, we took the visitors for dinner at "Woodford Cafe" in
Strictly local dishes at the request of the visiting group.
Here are some pics of the event.
For pics of the ship and the first night I will be contacting others who were present.
Group pics see if you can make out the folks.
