What!, you say, it’s almost June why are we talking about
Cinco de Mayo? Well to tell you the
truth, the other half partner in this blog site was supposed to post this, but
to keep marital bliss, let’s just say we are never "breaking news" on this blog
site but more a historical log.
So as many of you know, Pauline is a Cinco de Mayo baby and
this year being her half century celebration we thought we would make it a
party. We no longer have the funding to
put on quite the affair we did for her 40th but figured a joint
party with the Marianas Yacht Club would be good as most of the people we know
on Guam are from there anyway and the few outsiders we could certainly invite
separately.
Anyway, as there was nothing on at the club, we got with a few
other senior members of the club and suggested we organize something. So it was a potluck of bring your favourite
Mexican dish to pass and I will put on a keg of Dos Equis and make sure there are the fixings
for enough margaritas that we were sure to believe we were in Mexico. One member brought all of his Mexican music and tied it into the sound system. We also filled up a piñata to keep the
younger people interested with enough tooth rot (or I mean candy) to get the
kids feeling as high as the adults. In
honor of Pauline’s 50th we considered anyone 49 and under kids and they were
allowed to whack the piñata. In truth we
had so much fun with the youngest two 9 and 12 that we forgot to let the older
ones get a chance. Sorry Jeff and
Liz! One of the downsides of the MYC
clubhouse has to do with the uninvited six legged winged guests. So we got all the tiki torches going and a
few coils and no one complained of any mozzies.
Of course that could have been due to the great food everyone prepared
or the fair amount of beer which we didn’t finish or the Margaritas which we
came close to finishing. But I think all
in all everyone had a good time. The
pictures below are all pre-party as we didn’t want any real photographic
evidence once we were in full swing.
The next delayed post we will write is on the Rota Race
which we just got back from. We are
waiting on results for that race but we didn’t do too badly and burned no diesel
during either leg except to perform an emergency rescue to some disabled jet
skiers, so watch this space.
