There are several ingredients for a successful punch party:
a) plenty of punch made to a secret recipe, but not so secret that you can’t identify appreciate some of the component ingredients, especially the Malibu and fruit, which are especially to a bear's taste.
b) some nibbles to absorb the punch, so enabling you to drink more – Stu’s cheese and caramelised onion dip was a big hit here!
c) a fine Mediterranean beach
d) an appreciative audience
We bears certainly provided the latter. While the humans were drinking their punch from little plastic cups, we got stuck in and downed a measuring jug full at a time –with a little encouragement from our lovely hostie, Holly of course.
Please don’t think for a moment that we were greedy and deprived anyone else of their fair share. The truth was that as the punch was provided in barrels, there was more than enough for everyone.
George & Yorkie note: that may be true, but it is also true to say that Eddie was the only one who stuck his whole head in. Strangley enough he can’t remember much that happened after that moment!
Anyway, great fun was had by all, to such an extent that a few days later we did it all again when we met up with another flotilla. After all it's good to be hospitable isn't it?
Lots of love, George, Yorkie & Eddie

Hope you weren't bears with a sore head the next day when it was time to climb the rigging!
