Danry had boarded the stricken vessel to help Carl-sen secure a tow line that later tnapprd. Companies a n d individuals stumbled ( vr e-vih other in n rush to get Carlsen to sig.i contracts. To thrir astonishment. he calmly refused all offers. He says he still is getting offers and still turning them down. , "Its hard to believe these people are serious." he said in an interview when his new ship. Flying Enterprise II. steamed into San Francisco Bay. "I've had more than $2,000,000 offered for various things," lie reported. "But I'm a ship captain. That's all I can do." On his current voyage carrying general cargo to ports around the globe he was offered a movie contract in Singapore. "And one fellow offered me an estate on the Hudson river if I would agree to live on it. and not return to sea. Can you imagine that?" It would be hard to imagine Kurt Carl.-en forsaking the sea.
