What to do when sailing #1

Sailing, 16 days at sea.. and to be honest not an awful lot to do.. (well thats not actually true, there is a lot of work to do..) (there is always a lot of work to do..) (and I have really been doing a lot of work!)
But besides the above mentioned work (I really do work!) there is not a lot to do after hours (after I have finished doing work) (or in between leaving and going back to work).

But as I was going to say.. you have to be fairly creative to entertain yourself.
A long standing tradition therefore is to hold a poker tournament (dont worry, its not for real money) in honour of the country that we are leaving.
So this sail was the South Africa Tournament.

Now what I so far have failed to mention, even avoided mentioning.. we always add a theme to the tournaments, and everybody dresses up, and everybody takes it very seriously. I feel the pictures will explain this better than I ever could.. the theme was 'Wild West'.

Oh and a small side note: I WON!!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE REIGNING AFRICA MERCY POKER CHAMPION (haha I'm still pretty stoked)

So in conclusion:
If you're ever on a long sail; and you're strapped for ideas to entertain yourself (after work)..

#1. Hold a themed poker tournament.
