Oct 29

Main pre-port was tonight followed by the Halloween dance. I was not going to go at first but I said why not! I dressed up as a Red Sox Fan. I had my jersey and hat with me and then I made a sign that said “YANKEES SUCK” and pinned it to the front of me. Didn’t think it was much and didn’t compare to a lot of much more creative costumes but I got a lot of attention. For being on a ship with no resources the costumes were some of the best I have ever seen. People were dressed as some of the teachers, Play-Dough, the lost boys, pigs, the usual cat/mouse getup, truckers, Indian sales man, boxers…anything you name it probably was somehow put together. It was just a dance for a couple of hours (no booze). So it felt like middle school again but the music was great and everyone was having a great time just admiring the costumes and genuinely having a good time.
