August, Friday 27th
While on a routine Naval patrol mission off Australia’s Gold Coast, Captain Prince and his crew were anchored about 2 miles off shore. It was on a standard mid-afternoon break that some off duty officers and crew were swimming in the ocean when what was reported as a 14-ft Great White shark mistook Captain Prince’s left leg for Bindi Irwin. And so in a flash, Captain Prince was a monopod,discharged from The Royal Navy, and did what any other one-legged former Australian Royal Navy Commander would do. He started a band, and the legend of THE FABULOUS YACHTSMEN was born.
And when the Captain speaks, his crew listens. It was then that the wildly successful Sydney based Australian yacht rock band would plotand ultimately embark on their first ever North American tour in the winter of 2020.After 18 months of negotiating with theaters, clubs, performing art centers, cruise ships, 4 foreign countries’consulates,and their own government, February of 2020 arrives. And Australia’s biggest export since Crocodile Dundee and Oliva Newton John was off to the smoldering shores of Southern California.
