Re Mardi Gras:

Will the gendarmes need to be 'recompensed' in advance to keep them from imprisoning some of our more rowdy crew members??

Who can we trust appoint to be the purser?

Perhaps FreeTheMen or The Thin Man?
Both are quite clever and adept, and able to wiggle their way out of tight situations.

Hmm, for being "able to wiggle their way out of tight situations," I would pick The Thin Man. He's fasinated.

Mardi Gras!? What did I miss here? Do they have Mardi Gras some place other than New Orleans? Sao Paulo has something like it. I thought we were sailing down the coast of Mexico and C. Amer.
