today was an at sea day and we had some excitement.
half way through the day the captain announce that the ship was turning around...
there was a small boat of refugees (we are assuming from Cuba) in trouble and sinking and we were the closest ship to them. They were turning around to attempt a rescue!
There were planes in the sky circling the boat and a coastguard speed boat got to them before us. The refugee boat is the small spec to the left. We were told there were 8 people aboard, but have no idea what happened to them. I can't imagine being out on that water, in a small boat, in trouble.
people were lined up on the front of the ship to see it all play out.....and capitalism was in full swing, they were actually out there selling beer and drinks to the people as they watched....sheesh.
Having the same waiters all week, you get to know them pretty well and they get to know you. We had the BEST wait staff and thoroughly enjoyed them. Our head waiter was from India and so much fun. However, she was having an awful time with a tooth ache and wouldn't be able to see a dentist for another week. My family had the awesome privilege of praying over her!

I didn't realize that you were going to be posting vacation shots while on vacation!
It looks like you all are having a great time.
Those shots of the zip line made me a little whoozie.
Looks like you had a great time! I love that you were able to pray with your waiter!
hope nothing serious happened with the people in the boat! what a great privilege that you could pray for the waiter
