This function took place in the Fort D'estres which was built around 70 years after the slave trade ended from Goree Island. It wasn't held in the Slave House which is a couple of hundred metres away or in any other slave place.

 

Thanks very much for the clarification.  This makes sense.  In fact, I do recall another large old building close to the Slave House.  However, I did not visit it.

Running quite close to the coast of Western Sahara this afternoon. Trivia continues to be very well supported but challenging, have been second for a number of days. Cinco de Mayo lunch on the grill (but using German sausages) and a Cinco de Mayo meal in La Terrazza tonight.

That’s beyond odd.  Do you know if SS has added any new Mexican beers on board?  For example, Corona Premier has been available in the market for over a year now (it’s a Michelob Ultra killer) and Modelo Especial has been the hottest Mexican brew for over 5-years now and neither one were available in February when we were on the Shadow.

Not sure, but I admit to being a Hoegaarden drinker!

At 23:45 tonight there were 4 guests and 2 Ghosts left awake, this ship is not only dead, it is moribund.

Tropic of Cancer was likely one of the most frequently censored books in the history of American literature,  described as  a lascivious romp involving Miller's expatriate exploits among the world of writers and artists in early 1930s Paris...are you having that same experience Mr. Silver?

This is when I seek out Abhay of La Dame and ask him to prepare and debone the fish tableside for me.  🙂

Basking in the sun, it’s 20c and very little wind. Bliss.

Glad there's no wind. Might make the "un-bunkering" a little unpleasant...
