Our banquet consumed we then retired for drinks and dancing in the bar. All aboard the ship know for another traditional reason to try to keep us aboard for as long as possible… For whilst we are enjoying a gastronomic feast aboard, the outgoing winterers and summer staff are performing a tradition of their own; practical jokes all around base, our rooms (which are always unlocked, we do not even have keys!), our work spaces, and the communal areas too. And we were all aware of this too, so decided to enjoy the party at sea whilst all havoc was being wrought on base!
