Hallowe’en
The Hallowe’en Party at Port Louis Marina doubled as our going away party. It was our last “Hurrah” with our fabulous cruiser friends who had been our close social circle for many months and even over the last couple of years:
Matsu...................Tim and Linda
Santosha..............Gabrielle and Marty
Zero to Cruising....Rebecca and Mike
Beau Soleil...........Jon and Shawna
One White Tree....Dianna (and) Ross
Mekeia.................Jack (already departed for Martinique)
El Vagabundo.......Kevin (off in the wild blue yonder)
Notre Vie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,John and Sunny
and all the others that we hashed with and played volleyball with, etc.
Luckily I had an easy costume, an old belly dance costume that I just managed to squeeze into. My daughter had given me a lovely, long piece of hand printed material from Bali which made a great Turban for Wade along with the table runner from India which was a Christmas present to him from Zephyr, as well. I became Mau Geisha and my man became Ali Babble. The staff at Yolo’s voted us Best Couple Costume and we won a bottle of Mapo. kind of felt bad since we felt Linda and Tim won
hands down with Cruela de Vil and her stolen Dalmation. Gabrielle fashioned herself and Marty with a brilliant sail cloth design (very avant-garde!). Jon had a full hammerhead suit and Shawna glowed in the dark as a beautiful Damsel fish. John looked like Captain of the Love Boat and I covet Sunny’s Squid hat! Other favorites were Happy Hour, The Weather Report: Sunny with a Possibility of Showers and Waldo (her maiden name is actually Waldo so her friends are constantly asking, “Where’s Waldo??”
Luckily it was so much fun with oodles of distractions away from the reality of leaving Grenada, it’s beautiful people and our friends.
