Later on that day, Nikki was out making the rounds of the pubs to see who was out and about and ran into some people who had made some kind of floating device with little engines on the back of it. Asked about it and found out it was for a boating contest in a couple of days. There are pictures of the test boat and the final boat (which won the contest). They called their little boat ‘The Good Ship Lollipop’. The actual contest was supposed to take place in the big pool, but because “the ditch” (Tasmanian Sea) was so rough, the big pool was closed due to the water jumping out of it in waves and soaking all the innocent passers-by. Saw it happen, swear! So the same little pool was used that they tested in as it is very small and protected.
The view from one of the best bars on the ship called The Oasis later renamed Hank’s Bar.
