I'm on a boat

How long is an appropriate time for a Christmas party cruise?

Sydney Harbour for the tourist - 3 hours
Sydney Harbour for the jaded Sydney-sider - 2 hours
Anywhere in the Greek islands - unlimited, preferably
Milford Sound, New Zealand - a few days
Lake Burley Griffin for the drinker - as long as the alcohol keeps coming
Lake Burley Griffin for the designated driver - 2 hours

As you might have guessed, I recently went on a cruise of Lake Burley Griffin (LBG to the initiated). After about an hour and half we had enjoyed ourselves, but were quite ready to disembark and get some shut-eye (and for dinner - but that's another story). Call it old age.

So I was quite pleased when the boat docked at the sailing club at the 2 hour mark. Two hours is plenty of time to spend with a bunch of lawyers.

Then they started loading drinks onto the boat.

And the rubbish off the boat.

Before we knew it - we were leaving the dock - there was another hour left!

Moral to the story?
