We were told anything between nil and 200 people could show up to Alveis farewell party. It turned out to be a total of about 25 on and off during the night. We had made four kilos of potato salad, so you can easily guess what we'll be living off the next days before the final departure. The ship ended up looking so clean it almost was too much, pretty much everything is put in the right place, and deck has been scrubbed, saloon and galley vacuumed and all table and galley tops inside and out washed down.
I planned to take pictures, but realised my memory card had gone missing.
Instead I drank pear scrumpy and red wine and danced on the deck - we've made a crew dance as well, and added new disco moves such as haul up the anchor, climb the mast and scrub the deck. We also made the discovery that all of the male crew are quite the playboys with female guests flocking around them. It was pretty funny to watch and I guess that's what sailors are supposed to be like. Hard working sailors do party hard, but not late - I wet to bed as one of the later at 00.30.
