The singer Sylvan, whose record "We don't belong" had been heavily plugged on Caroline, went out to visit the Mi Amigo on 18th September. When she was to leave the weather had deteriorated and she could not face the trip back. Sylvan helped the DJ's with their shows and even read out the night time close down announcements on the 19th. She eventually left the ship on the tender the next day.

During November, there were rumours of armed soldiers preparing to attack the Mi Amigo. Nothing ever happened, and it is believed the whole story was a hoax connected with a possible film.

Around this time Caroline was negotiating to take over fort based Radio City, and Caroline news was aired on both stations. By late 1965, Radio Caroline and Radio London were holding regular meetings with Radio Luxembourg to discuss advertising rates and station policies.
