The Ukulele Cruise
2018-11-23 14:04:13
A pleasant City Cat ride to Portside began an excellent long weekend playing ukulele with the Sunshine Coast Ukulele Masters (aka SCUMS).
We were entertained by The Lazy Leis (a ukulele rock band) and other very talented musicians during our four nights at sea. On our final day, with 80 or so other ukulele players, we were part of a flash mob singing and playing "Don't worry, be happy" with The Lazy Leis.
Unfortunately sea and wind conditions prevented us from visiting Hamilton Island, not that it bothered us as as we have been there before, however, one very upset and disappointed lady had planned this cruise months ago so she could visit her son. Mother Nature had other plans!
The long weekend was a lot of fun and we got to know some more lovely ukulele players. Thank you to Lyn and Jeff for hosting the classes and sessions and for producing the special songbook. We know how much effort goes into preparing for such an event.
Another adventure on the high seas.

It's bitter sweet - saying goodbye to old and new-found friends after 3.5 months ... but it is nice to be back home.

At sea travelling from Sydney, Australia to Brisbane, Australia As our World Cruise comes to an end (sad but true), we would like to thank Commodore Romano and Captain Ley, all the entertainers, crew (particularly Christian and Corey) and staff onboard the beautiful Sea Princess for a safe and very enjoyable journey. Thank you also to the wonderful friends (old and new) for sharing many adventures and occasions with us. Snapshot of our journey ...
