Last Day At Sea

Glen started the day like he always liked to do by going out on the deck to see what he could see and all he could see was sea. Well, he could also see some birds at sea that were swooping down and snatching fish out of the water.



Pretty soon he got all excited when he noticed that the ship was slowing down and turning around and then he saw another bird--a very big bird, a very big bird made out of metal that turned out to be a Coast Guard helicopter.

There was a medical emergency and a passenger had to be evacuated. Glen captured some great photos of the Coast Guard in action getting a sick passenger off the ship.

After the medical evacuation, they got busy putting up all the railings around the outer edge of the ship--trying to avoid MAN OVERBOARD!! I'm sure.  It appeared then was as good a time as any to have a fire drill.
We enjoyed getting to know the captain at the Captain's Corner that afternoon.  He told us that our medical emergency was a great opportunity for the Coast Guard to "practice" rescuing people.  If I had been the passenger being hoisted up in that skinny, metal basket over all that water, the Coast Guard would have had more "practice" reviving me once I got up to the helicopter.

Our lunch that day was at the Wipeout Cafe!  The reason was it was the place where Glen and Patricia could get a chocolate/vanilla swirl ice scream cone.

The Schooner Lounge was the place for the guys to try their hand at Trivial Pursuit.  Not so much luck until this particular day when we almost had enough winning answers to qualify for a prize. 

Dinner that evening was at a fancy restaurant called Chops Grille.  The food was superb and every plate was so artfully presented.  Fine dining to be sure!

Such a delicious last dinner on the ship.  And here was our last breakfast that we ate before disembarking.

Such great food, such great friends, such a great ship, such a great time.
