How bad does your condition have to be before they send a military helicopter to pick you up? They sent three people up. I’m hoping the other two were family members… I’m proud to say that my first thought was “I hope they’re ok” and not “were they in a suite”?
- Table Tennis (Classic!)
- Bocce Ball
(We have a lawn. If I didn’t already feel like this trip was a frivolous extravagance, the presence of a lawn at sea would have convinced me.) - Karaoke (After my cough went away. “Don’t tell my heart, my achy…never mind”)
- Self Directed Wine Tasting (Isn’t that just drinking?)
And… - Long lining into a helicopter?
Day six on the cruise we woke up to the thrumming sound of helicopter blades outside our window.
Since I have nose problems I dashed upstairs and watched what looked like a military helicopter long line three people off the ship. Apparently some time in the night the ship had actually turned around to get us close enough to shore so that the helicopter could reach us for the evacuation. And I thought racing a sailboat was an expensive excursion.
