Mar 6 Captain Flokos Retirement Dinner

As we hugged the coastline of Dominica and then Cuba to shelter from the worst of the swells, we spent the day heading back to Miami.  In the evening there was a retirement dinner for Captain Flokos, ending his 45 years at sea.  He told me that the fireboats in Miami would not be spraying water as he pulled into port (as they do for retiring airline pilots) so I guess the dinner was an alternative.

The dinner was held in La Reserve, the most upscale restaurant aboard, with a fixed menu of carefully chosen courses and wines.  It was quite elegant.  Here are some pictures from the event.

 There was lots of glass raising and clinking...























All pictures were optimized for small size because of the slow upload speeds.  And I didn't size them for 4"x6" prints.  If you want higher resolution or suitable for making prints, let me know and I'll send them.
