The sound team arrived mid-morning to set up
speakers and gear under the shade on the beach, then the Reef Cat brought the
musicians and audience.
Most of the
audience set up on the sand while the musicians warmed up, but some snorkelled
and swam, listening to the music from the water. They even brought two life guards with a
paddleboard, which was just as well as a few people ventured a bit far.
The
highlight of the concert was Wu Man playing the Pipa, an ancient Chinese type
of mandolin/lute. Brett had been raving
about this instrument and finally got to meet the Star herself, Wu.
Just on
sunset the audience were ushered back to the ferry for cold drinks and
dinner. Everyone was on board except the
captain, who soaked up the last of the sunset as he crossed the bridge back to
the ferry.
