Since we dutifully waited on the dock for the next party boat to pull up rather than head back to shore; we boarded, taking the long (pun intended) walk up the plank. Now, we revelers are riding the mechanical bull.
However, since I am the designated driver aka Captain of this ship, I head out soberly, conservatively, somewhat hedged and not overly exposed, making sure the life rafts can hold everyone, just in case.
