1 He was definitely there and I'll tell you how I

2 remember -- because when we were flying over there we
3 flew in -- I believe we flew in first class and ---
4 Q. Did you ever fly coach class?
5 A. Not from 2006 on I didn't.
6 Q. I didn't think so.
7 A. So I had Lippman sitting here, I'm sitting
8 here (indicating), and to my left in those seats that
9 lay down -- those cubicle things -- I was over here.
10 I don't remember where our wives were, but
11 I remember Blandin was a couple of seats away from
12 us. Steve was reading Sports Illustrated. I was
13 reading a watch magazine and we looked over and
14 Blandin was reading the income tax code.
15 Q. Do you recall Blandin telling you in London
16 that or discussing with you in London the fact that
17 he thought it was unique or odd or wrong that you
18 were negotiating for Albert while you were
19 Silversea's counsel?
20 Any conversation along those lines at all?
21 A. Not to my recollection.
22 Q. Regardless, in January Blandin already
23 knew as well that Jewel River Cruises was about to
24 potentially become a reality, if I understand your
25 testimony then. Right?
