Poptart?

Poptart?
On the last night of the cruise, I took a deep breath, and signed up for the “Pop Star” contest. It was a hoot. A bit nerve wracking at first, but I just pretended I was a pro, and gave it everything. I missed a few notes, but had a great time.

I sang “Lean on me”, and tried to make it a bit physical by incorporating a few simple movements. Choreography and singing is all double dutch to me, but it seemed to work, and the audience enjoyed it.

Congratulations to Sven, and his team of groupies, who won the comp.

Bruce meets the designated driver

Captain Draper was very keen to meet Dad / Bruce when he found out he'd worked on the
original Oriana.

The captain invited us to a special cocktail party and reserved a table for us right at the front.

Bruce couldn't beleive his eyes when he saw all the free grog that the captain laid on for us.

Captain Tony Draper is a lovely man, and very hospitable. We really have enjoyed our time
under his care.

Oh – by the way, I succumbed to temptation and sang at the Karaoke Bar. Unfortunately, they
have now signed me up to perform in the "Pop Stars" competition, so I have to sing in front of the
whole cruise in the Show Lounge on Friday night.

Hmmmmm – I wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew????

More news tomorrow.

P.S. It's Thursday already and we all don't want this week to end.
