324--Spain: Ibiza, Ready to Jump Ship? @ CherieSpotting     Oct 03 2005 - 13:12 PST cherie writes: What happens when you gather 29 friends from 7 countries and charter 2 boats? You celebrate Mary's 30th Birthday! We chartered a sleek new Bavaria and an old wooden ketch and crammed all 30 of us aboard. (We were 30 if you count the stow-away octopus!) As an added perk we also got names we couldn't pronouce, an octopus we couldn't eat, free aerobic lessons, a shroud-dancing class, an acrobatic air-show, and guacamole sandwiches for lunch. Did I forget to mention the free T-shirt? Take a leap of faith and look at our photos from Ibiza, Spain.
