"I loved the fact that Captain Nemo Blues was written in part by Captain Nemo (Dr Robert Ballard) and that our friendship inspired the album about the good ship Nautilus. I loved the first trip off the coast of Sicily and now here at Kick Em' Jenny volcano off the coast of Granada with Dr Katy Bell, Alison Fundis, Pam Saletrom and crew is a dream come true- the ship is beautiful and the sun is shining" Ned
