Thanks to everyone who joined us for Smoke On The Water last night.
Over 200 guests boarded The Elizabethan at Westminster Pier, including several MPs and representatives of half a dozen think tanks and political groups.
Parliamentary researchers were there too but most encouraging of all was the number of younger people who turned out in force.
Readers of this blog were well represented too. Sorry I wasn't able to talk at length but it was good to say hello to some of you.
Last night's event had a Cuban theme, hence the mojitos and exotic dancers.
We even had a Cuban band called The Sugar Kings which was rather apt given the fact that we were promoting our new campaign Action on Consumer Choice.
Seventy bottles of Prosecco and 150 mojitos had been consumed in less than an hour when The Elizabethan left Westminster Pier at 8.00pm sharp.
Ninety minutes earlier grey clouds had gathered over the Thames, a light wind had sprung up, and I thought we might be in for a choppy ride.
Instead the sun came out and we enjoyed a gentle cruise all the way down to Canary Wharf before returning to Festival Pier on the South Bank by 10.00pm.
On the return leg I'm told that one well known blogger pulled some remarkable shapes on the dance floor. Whether he remembers any of them is open to question because he later left both his overcoat and his tie on the boat.
As casualties go however there was no repeat of two years ago when one young reveller collapsed on the embankment shortly after leaving the boat and was taken to hospital.
Anyway, here are a few photos taken, as ever, by Dan Donovan. To view the full gallery click here.
