Once in a Lifetime?

Playing Pairs in a club competition with someone I hadn't played with before I picked up a 30-point hand. Well it was a first for me!

I opened 2♣ and partner as expected responds with a negative 2 .

Where do you go from here?

I couldn't see any way I could find out what partner had. If I invent a 2 or 2♠ bid to see what Partner does next I risk ending up in 4 or 4♠ in a 4-3 fit

I bid 6NT! Well it was almost Christmas :)

Partner had only one point  but 5 Spades to the ♠ J, and the  K was onside so I made the contract for a top.

Was I right? I don't know - but it was fun.
