Everyone said that the Tasmanian Sea was very rough and to be prepared. Lucky for us, the opposite was true. The captain said he had to check the navigator’s charts to make sure we were actually there. We had about 3 meter swells, but that just produced a gentle rocking. I must have found my sailor’s legs – I haven’t had any ill effects since the first week or so.
Tonight I had booked to go to a Murder Mystery. This mystery was written by our Entertainment Director, Ron and it was really cute. Members of the crew were the main characters . All who attended were supposed to be going to their High School reunion. We all wore name tags with a name of our choice and the year we were supposed to have graduated. I was “Lucille Finetime” (as in “You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille”) and I chose 1987 – the year I retired - as my graduating year. The crew had done a great job of decorating the Hudson Room (to resemble a High School Reunion) and this is where we met before dinner for a champagne cocktail. After this we were led to the Pinnacle Grill for the dinner. Just before we were served, the lights went out, we heard the sound of a gun and after the lights went on again, it was announced that one of our group had been murdered. It was our job during the evening to figure out who the culprit was. (The murdered man was supposed to be one of the graduates who was attending the reunion with his new wife.) The Entertainment Director played the part of the policeman who interviewed each of the suspects – the crew members – during the gourmet diner which followed. The wine flowed freely and the noise level rose with each new wine that was introduced - 4 in all plus a liquor with the dessert. At the end, each table had to decide who the culprit was. I still l haven’t figured out what clues led to the arrest of the wife. but anyhow, a good time was had by all.
