The Crew of "Penelope elle"

Rio to the Cape - Ships Log Project
In January 1956, my grandfather, Roland Charles Raymond Brass and his son (my father) Oliver Anthony Brass answered an ad in the local Rio de Janeiro Press for volunteers to assist in a sea voyage from Rio to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. The original crew had abandoned the Captain and the ship for the excitements available in Rio.
This is the Log that my Grandfather kept. It is a work of passion which I cherish to undertake

Can't Help Loving That Man (Oscar Hammerstein II)
Fish got to swim, birds got to fly
I got to love one man 'til I die
Can't help loving that man of mine
Maybe he's lazy, maybe he's slow
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I know
Can't help loving that man of mine
And when he's away
That's a rainy day
But when he's back
The day is fine, the sun will shine
He can stay out as long as can be
For without him ain't no home for me
Can't help loving that man of mine
Show me....
Oh, fish got to swim, birds got to fly
I got to love one man 'til I die
Can't help loving that man of mine
Maybe he's crazy, maybe he's slow
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I know
Can't help loving that man of mine
And when he's away
Can't Help Loving That Man
That's a rainy day
But when he's back
The day is fine, the sun will shine
He can stay out as long as can be
For without him ain't no home for me
Can't help loving that man of mine
Can't help loving, loving that man of mine
Can't help....help....help
Loving that man....man....man
Man of mine....mine....mine
I just can't help
