A group of my friends from high school have stayed extremely close as we get older, and have created an organization called the Lost Raccos.  As the Lost Raccos they put on several parties a year, one at Halloween, one at Christmas, and a Pirate Cruise in the summer months.  This year the Pirate Cruise fell last Friday, and I have a few pictures to share.

The party is held on the Empire Sandy, a large three masted sailing ship which departs from Spadina Peer in Toronto.  The tickets this year were $50 and included a buffet dinner, a great deal for such an awesome party if you ask me! The boat does a lap of Centre Island departing at 9:00 and returning around 1:00am.  In between there is a lot of dancing, drinking and good times.

Here are some shots of us getting ready for the party.  I didn’t bring my camera on board with us, so I will borrow some of my friend’s pics and update this post later.

View from the hotel:

Peter’s friend Kristie and myself before we all started getting ready.

I think Lisa’s eyes look amazing!  Gotta love north facing window light, so beautiful.

Me again, mostly in my costume:

Here’s the group, say Yarrr…!  Lisa is behind the camera for this one, and two of Andrew’s friends Charles and John were yet to arrive, and unfortunately didn’t make it into a group shot because there just wasn’t time.
