Next, Anders Osborne and his band—bassist Carl Dufrene and drummer Eric Bolivar—came out for what ended up being one the day’s most exciting performances. The trio were joined, for the duration of the show, by Ivan Neville and guitarist Peter Stelling, who helped kick off the set with “Windows” and “Five Bullets” (Stelling is the husband of Jam Cruise’s Annabel Lukins Stelling.) Mike Dillon then sat in on percussion for “I Shot The Sheriff” before fellow New Orleanians Billy Iuso, Stanton Moore and George Porter Jr. came out for “All Along the Watchtower.” In what is bound to be one of the week’s highlights, Osborne and Friends were then joined by Cyril Neville for “Fire on the Mountain” as the ship sailed past Cuba with the sun setting over the mountains along the island’s coast. Most of the guest exited before pedal steel guitarist Roosevelt Collier showed to help close out the set.

Unfortunately Pork Tornado—and Phish—member Jon Fishman got sick after New Year’s Eve was unable to make it to the boat, leaving the group without a drummer. Galactic’s Stanton Moore filled in for the absentee Fishman as the band kept things interesting with a grooving set.
