White Pepper sailed to the port of Las Vegas to help marry off loyal foredecker Clay Watson and master quarter stay mate Chrystal Glisson. The 7-7-07 wedding was wonderful, and the illusion presented by the Venetian hotel of St. Mark's square at sunset was amazing. Also at the wedding was Mark McNamara. Along with Jan and I that makes 4 of the 6 crew members who made the wonderful trip to Isle Mujeres. Also present was Bruce and Tamy Swart. Bruce is an honorary Isle Mujeres crew since he picked us up at the Reyanosa airport. Best wishes to Clay and Crystal and I hope they keep sailing.
White Pepper saw many amazing things in Las Vegas--the ship sinking outside of Treasure Island casino, lions at the MGM Grand, tigers at the Mirage, water fountains at the Bellagio, a really scary front row ride on the roller coaster outside and around the New York, New York casino, and more concentrated luxury than imaginable at the Forum Shop of Caesar's Palace.
But the most amazing sight was the Cirque du Soleil's Beatles' Love. This has to be the future of theater in the 21st century. Even with such a thin libretto as the songs of the Beatle's psychedelics period (i.e. St Pepper and the White album) Cirque do Soleil put on a spelling binding show. I wonder what they could do with Mozart's Don Giovani?
