Last night was one of the final parties here with a Caribbean theme. Given that we were Caribbean bound I had raided my party box before I left home and sneaked into my luggage a Caribbean shirt and a rather bright orange, pink and green suit in Caribbean style thinking they might come in handy at some time on the trip. So at least we had something to work with for the party.
Mark wore the shirt and I wore the suit while Graham managed
to pull together something slightly Caribbean from his regular wardrobe…. The
suit attracted a fair bit of comment as I circulated at the party amongst the
bright shirts and Rastafarian dress everyone else had adopted. So when a prize was announced for the best
dress of the evening and that turned out to be ‘Mark from Quasar IV’ I was
pushed to the front and onto the stage by a number of eager hands…to be
confronted by a confused looking female organiser of ARC activities. It transpired that she had taken a shine to
Mark Thorpe and had decided to award him the prize, forgetting that there were
two of us by that name on the boat. It
did not deter her though….
