We traveled by ship which took 6 weeks, they used to play the beach boys amongst other music on board the ship. The following year I was taking my lunch break from work ( I was 17) in Wellington and who did I see in the street mall, yes it was the Beach Boys! I couldn't believe my eyes. They were chatting to a group of people and signing autographs. So of course I joined in. I didn't want to go back to work, 🤣❤
