In February 1974, while aboard the Apollo, he forms a music and dance troupe to provide entertainment and goodwill at Spanish and Portuguese ports of call. He personally instructs the musicians and dancers in artistic presentation, music, compo sition, sound, arranging and recording.

During October 1974, the Apollo sails across the Atlantic to Bermuda and then on to the Caribbean.

From February through June 1975, while in Curaçao, Mr. Hubbard takes a series of photographs for the island’s tourist bureau and completes six photography projects for release in Scientology books and publications.

By mid-1975, the activities on the Apollo outgrow the vessel’s capacity. Mr. Hubbard returns to the United States, and settles in Dunedin, Florida, where he continues his research into music, examining choir music at local churches. He writes the scripts for the first Scientology educational films.
