Instead of celebrating the usual style, my parents decided to charter a boat for Papa's party. They tried it a few months ago and had wonderful time. They hoped to share the experience with close friends and family. We gave the boat company the guest list for insurance purposes.
We boarded the boat shortly after 8PM. We were advised by the crew that it was going to be a bumpy ride. They suggested having the dinner first before sailing. As soon as we are settled, the ship sailed. Let's just say, we didn't expect it to be that bumpy. We were rocking sideways. It was like riding a roller coaster.
We didn't expect it to be that way. Even my father was apologetic to the guests, half of whom were dizzy, sleepy or barfing.
We had a hard time entertaining the guests. The people I counted on to perform were too unsettled to stand in front of the other guests. I had to stand in several times to distract them from the waves. There were lots of leftover food because people couldn't go for seconds.
It was a fun experience for us, even hilarious. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for the rest.
