A very happy Sundog Tom and Alba

Boaters and local residents alike turned out for the event which featured the music of Jerusafunk and the songs and swordfights by Pirate Tom.

Donations to rebuild the popular cafe/nightspot came from not only Rio Dulce boaters but from the United States, Belize, England and Vienna.
