Things are really messed up for me. I would have posted this on Promenade's blog, however, it appears I don't know the passwords! They are on the laptop automatically and earlier today I was using Lisa's computer where they are stored as well! Oh well, some more random pictures in no particular order from the week just finished...

It was a shopping extravaganza when I showed up with some bright new tank tops. I knew some of these girls really wanted some and I have to thank TSHIRT1 who had them printed and out the door to me in a couple days flat so I could get them in time....




The last evening I made PAILS, MANY PAILS, of blue drink, although they were not that strong and we all sat around and enjoyed the breeze at the Caves telling stories of our favorite parts of the week. The guests, loved having the crew interact and eat with them so much, but it does not work very well when we only have a couple crew and 10-12 guests!


This is from dinner one night...


And from great hamburgers Lisa made on the last lunch. Lisa and I still cooked for 20 and we had more food then these guests could ever hope to eat. They were crying uncle by the end of the week!


This elegant picture is of me with a dozen cans in my dress for making the blue drink up! Who needs bowls or bags!!


This was the last evenings dinner. I am not quite sure what we were doing there. Perhaps too much blue drink!


I had gone out shopping and Lisa had asked for a present just like princesses do, so I did manage to find her something flowy and princess like...


This is our dinner platter from last night. Some liked seafood, some liked chicken, so we combined them for a different looking platter....


Rich and LIsa...


Richard and Margot....


How do you like these bright shorts! He looks like a tourist! That is because his clothes never made it from California so I bought whatever Pussers had! My luck they will probably become his favorites or something and then I will have to murder him...


It may be dinner but Conner looks like he is sleeping here.. These young ones have no energy nowadays...


Dinner table before food arrives....


Conner is looking perkier here! These are from Michael Beans night....


Some of our guests found Rum shots...


Another dinner night....


and Tom enjoying himself way too much with all his women at Beans!



So ends another charter week on Promenade. It was fun, although, for the crew, a bit discombobulated with all the crew and so few guests. Never really seemed to get into a rhythm and the boat looks definitely trashy by the time we hit dock this morning...

Thanks guys, and we will see you all next year I am sure!
A wonderful week aboard Promenade! It really felt like (Sailing?) with friends. Chris did not want to build it up too much. She wanted to be sure I really had fun. She needened of worried. Thanks so much for the hospitality, wonderful food and cunning adventures. Best of fun to Richie and Lulu in Vancouver aboard the stink pot. Hope to come aboard again and really DIVE the wrecks.

Thanks for a fabulous week. You are all truly a delight to be with and I look forward to seeing you again soon.
CHRIS, Orange County

Just another wonderful week on Promenade in paradise. Does life get any better? Great hosts, great crew and great friends. Once again, meeting a new friend Margot and getting to meet Conner, Rich and Lisa along with renewing our friendship with Kerry and Bazza. Thanks for a great week. See you next year for I hope at least two weeks! This open cabin cruise was the best!

It's difficult to capture my appreciation in a few sentences. What an incredible week we had! The crews expertise delivered to us amazing dive sites and Lou Lou's skill got me in and out safely!

Thanks to you Richie for always finding the best weather. Kerry and Bazza- It's a world put right. Thanks again for your friendship and making my time on Promenade so special. Conner: great show on the couch of doom!
