I looked at the video I shot on the bus/boat and it is too dark to make any suitable video captures. TCers were their usual boisterous selves...what do we do when we get on a bus? We sing. Loudly. It just happens. We get in line at the harbor and carry on. Loudly. Bong comandeers an innocent roll of masking tape lying nearby and runs it around us in a ring to cordon us off from the normals. The harbor guy was not pleased to see his office supplies abused so wantonly.

Is it my imagination, or did they put us on our own boat? There was room for others, was there not? I swear they left 'em on the dock for their own protection.

Once on the boat, there was more hearty vocalising. Passing vessels were greeted with a community shout of "Happy HULAdays!". More miscellanous singing. The highlight was Shelley's rousing rendition of "Barnacle Bill The Sailor". Some guy that was working on the boat comes up to us and says, "If someone tells you to keep it down, don't listen to 'em." Very sporting of him.

The bus ride back to the shuttle stop was humourous. Bax stopped making out with Bong long enough to editorialise on the driver's technique by hollering out, "It's Mr. Toad's Wild Ride!!" We all cheered and it seemed to me that the driver continued piloting in similar fashion because we were egging him on.

Uncle Arty and Tiki Ti have a gorgeous home. They had yummy pupus and that Trader Vic's Punch is really good! They even had some Voodoo Spiced Rum there. I always wanted to try it and it's better than that damn Captain Morgan's. The Captain really chews, in my opinion.

This cruise was a really good idea, Arty. Let's do it again next year, just not on the same day as Santacon!
