District Student Government commandeered a vessel on September 16 for their Welcome Back Pirate Cruise.
The Vista King, the boat the party was on, was docked at 505 N. Riverwalk Way where it waited for partygoers at 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Each boat cruise lasted about two hours and featured a table full of many foods and a cash bar.
There was also a dance floor for students to dance the night away, one of the MCs being the recently retired Jerry O’Sullivan. There was also seating near the bow to watch the water for the less energetic partygoers. Rita Wood, Advisor for Student Government and one of the coordinators of this event, when asked if the intention of the pirate theme was to celebrate Speak Like A Pirate Day, which was on September 19, replied, “We did not.”
