Hi Everyone,
We were on a cruise on the Carnival Sunrise to Bermuda during hurricane season. Did not get there because a hurricane did come, but we almost got there, but the seas were getting to rough.
Anyway while on our return to Brooklyn, New York the captain came on and said there was a necessary Medial Rescue for one of the employees. The swells of the ocean was 18ft and higher, during this time the employee had a bad break, where heavy equipment fell on him.
So the US Coast Guard told the Captain of the ship to bring the ship towards land at top speed. So once we got into US waters the US Coast Guard Helicopter came and was just above out balcony and they paced the ship perfectly and of course I grabbed my camera and took lots of pictures of the rescue.
This happened on: 2019, 09-26 (Thursday PM). I totally Admire the US Coast Guard for their services and boy the pilot was amazing at keeping the same speed as the ship, wow. This rescue took around 40 minutes.
Thank you for your time and comments, deeply appreciated.
Have a Great Day, Skates
PS: We are expecting 10cm/4in of the white stuff tomorrow. yuck, here we go again.
