Even Sharky had a great party ;)   It was followed by amazing fireworks at midnight in the middle of the Mergui Archipelago, that were so astonishing that everybody was too busy watching, instead of taking pictures of it :) !!! Unforgettable experience ... But let's go back to the beginning of the cruise ! Nice weather ...  Perfect to chill on the sun deck, relax in the hammocks, read or nap on the sofa ...
